Ezra, chapter 1.

00:03.320 --> 00:07.360
Now in the first year of Cyrus king of
Persia, that the word of the Lord by the

00:07.360 --> 00:11.320
mouth of Jeremiah might be fulfilled,
the Lord stirred up the spirit of Cyrus

00:11.320 --> 00:15.060
king of Persia, that he made a
proclamation throughout all his kingdom,

00:15.520 --> 00:19.300
and put it also in writing, saying,
Thus saith Cyrus king of Persia,

00:19.860 --> 00:23.940
The Lord God of heaven hath given me all
the kingdoms of the earth, and he hath

00:23.940 --> 00:27.620
charged me to build him an house at
Jerusalem, which is in Judah.

00:28.180 --> 00:30.400
Who is there among you of all his people?

00:30.920 --> 00:35.740
His God be with him, and let him go up to
Jerusalem, which is in Judah, and build

00:35.740 --> 00:37.600
the house of the Lord God of Israel.

00:38.200 --> 00:41.040
He is the God, which is in Jerusalem.

00:41.780 --> 00:46.300
And whosoever remaineth in any place where
he sojourneth, let the men of his place

00:46.300 --> 00:50.080
help him with silver, and with gold,
and with goods, and with beasts,

00:50.560 --> 00:54.400
beside the freewill offering for the house
of God that is in Jerusalem.

00:54.620 --> 00:58.380
Then rose up the chief of the fathers of
Judah and Benjamin, and the priests and

00:58.380 --> 01:02.920
the Levites, with all them whose spirit
God had raised, to go up to build the

01:02.920 --> 01:04.440
house of the Lord which is in Jerusalem.

01:05.160 --> 01:08.720
And all they that were about them
strengthened their hands with vessels of

01:08.720 --> 01:12.620
silver, with gold, with goods,
and with beasts, and with precious things,

01:13.060 --> 01:14.720
beside all that was willingly offered.

01:15.760 --> 01:19.100
Also Cyrus the king brought forth the
vessels of the house of the Lord,

01:19.440 --> 01:23.060
which Nebuchadnezzar had brought forth out
of Jerusalem, and had put them in the

01:23.060 --> 01:23.880
house of his gods.

01:24.520 --> 01:28.560
Even those did Cyrus king of Persia bring
forth by the hand of Mithridat the

01:28.560 --> 01:32.140
treasurer, and numbered them unto
Sheshbazer the prince of Judah.

01:33.020 --> 01:34.100
And this is the number of them.

01:34.880 --> 01:39.800
Thirty charges of gold, a thousand charges
of silver, nine and twenty knives,

01:40.440 --> 01:45.060
thirty basins of gold, silver basins of a
second sort four hundred and ten,

01:45.440 --> 01:47.040
and other vessels a thousand.

01:47.760 --> 01:51.320
All the vessels of gold and silver were
five thousand and four hundred.

01:52.020 --> 01:56.080
All these did Sheshbazer bring up with
them of the captivity that were brought up

01:56.080 --> 01:57.800
from Babylon unto Jerusalem.
