such a time <03706 k@. 6 Ezr _ 05 _ 01 {6} Then the prophets <05029 n@biy>>, Haggai <02292 Chaggay> the prophet <05029 n@biy>>, and Zechariah <02148 Z@karyah> the son <01247 bar> of Iddo <05714 , prophesied <05013 n@ba>> (8724) unto <05922 the Jews <03062 Y@huwda>iy> that were in Judah <03061 Y@huwd> and Jerusalem <03390 Y@ruwshalem (Chald)> in the name <08036 shum> of the God <00426 >elahh> of Israel <03479 Yisra>el>, even unto <05922 them. 6 Ezr _ 05 _ 03 {6} At the same time <02166 z@man> came <00858 >athah> (8754) to them Tatnai <08674 Tatt@nay>, governor <06347 pechah> on this side <05675 the river <05103 n@har>, and Shetharboznai <08370 Sh@thar Bowz@nay>, and their companions <03675 k@nath>, and said <00560 >amar> (8750) thus <03652 ken> unto them <05922 , Who <04479 man> hath commanded <07761 suwm> (8754) <02942 t@ you to build <01124 b@na>> (8749) this <01836 den> house <01005 bayith>, and to make up <03635 k@lal> (8805) this <01836 den> wall <00846 >ushsharna>>? 6 Ezr _ 06 _ 01 {6} Then <00116 >edayin> Darius <01868 Dar@yavesh> the king <04430 melek> made <07761 suwm> (8754) a decree <02942 t@, and search <01240 b@qar> (8745) was made in the house <01005 bayith> of the rolls <05609 c@phar>, where <08536 tam> the treasures <01596 g@naz> were laid up <05182 n@chath> (8683) in Babylon <00895 Babel>. 6 Ezr _ 06 _ 13 {6} Then <00116 >edayin> Tatnai <08674 Tatt@nay>, governor <06347 pechah> on this side <05675 the river <05103 n@har>, Shetharboznai <08370 Sh@thar Bowz@nay>, and their companions <03675 k@nath>, according <06903 q@bel> to that which Darius <01868 Dar@yavesh> the king <04430 melek> had sent <07972 sh@lach> (8754), so <03660 k@nema>> they did <05648 (8754) speedily <00629 >ocparna>>. 6 Ezr _ 07 _ 01 {6} Now after <00310 >achar> these things <01697 dabar>, in the reign <04438 malkuwth> of Artaxerxes <00783 >Artachshashta>> king <04428 melek> of Persia <06539 Parac>, Ezra <05830 > the son <01121 ben> of Seraiah <08304 S@rayah>, the son <01121 ben> of Azariah <05838 , the son <01121 ben> of Hilkiah <02518 Chilqiyah>, 6 Ezr _ 07 _ 11 {6} Now this is the copy <06572 parshegen> of the letter <05406 nisht@van> that the king <04428 melek> Artaxerxes <00783 >Artachshashta>> gave <05414 nathan> (8804) unto Ezra <05830 > the priest <03548 kohen>, the scribe <05608 caphar> (8802), even a scribe <05608 caphar> (8802) of the words <01697 dabar> of the commandments <04687 mitsvah> of the LORD <03068 Y@hovah>, and of his statutes <02706 choq> to Israel <03478 Yisra>el>. 6 Ezr _ 07 _ 27 {6} Blessed <01288 barak> (8803) be the LORD <03068 Y@hovah> God <00430 >elohiym> of our fathers <00001 >ab>, which hath put <05414 nathan> (8804) such a thing as this in the king's <04428 melek> heart <03820 leb>, to beautify <06286 pa>ar> (8763) the house <01004 bayith> of the LORD <03068 Y@hovah> which is in Jerusalem <03389 Y@ruwshalaim>: 6 Ezr _ 08 _ 01 {6} These are now the chief <07218 ro>sh> of their fathers <00001 >ab>, and this is the genealogy <03187 yachas> (8692) of them that went up <05927 (8802) with me from Babylon <00894 Babel>, in the reign <04438 malkuwth> of Artaxerxes <00783 >Artachshashta>> the king <04428 melek>. 6 Ezr _ 08 _ 24 {6} Then I separated <00914 badal> (8686) twelve <08147 sh@nayim> <06240 of the chief <08269 sar> of the priests <03548 kohen>, Sherebiah <08274 Sherebyah>, Hashabiah <02811 Chashabyah>, and ten <06235 of their brethren <00251 >ach> with them, 6 Ezr _ 08 _ 21 {6} Then I proclaimed <07121 qara>> (8799) a fast <06685 tsowm> there, at the river <05104 nahar> of Ahava <00163 >Ahava>>, that we might afflict <06031 (8692) ourselves before <06440 paniym> our God <00430 >elohiym>, to seek <01245 baqash> (8763) of him a right <03477 yashar> way <01870 derek> for us, and for our little ones <02945 taph>, and for all our substance <07399 r@kuwsh>. 6 Ezr _ 08 _ 31 {6} Then we departed <05265 naca<> (8799) from the river <05104 nahar> of Ahava <00163 >Ahava>> on the twelfth <08147 sh@nayim> <06240 day of the first <07223 ri>shown> month <02320 chodesh>, to go <03212 yalak> (8800) unto Jerusalem <03389 Y@ruwshalaim>: and the hand <03027 yad> of our God <00430 >elohiym> was upon us, and he delivered <05337 natsal> (8686) us from the hand <03709 kaph> of the enemy <00341 >oyeb> (8802), and of such as lay in wait <00693 >arab> (8802) by the way <01870 derek>. 6 Ezr _ 09 _ 05 {6} And at the evening <06153 sacrifice <04503 minchah> I arose up <06965 quwm> (8804) from my heaviness <08589 ta; and having rent <07167 qara<> (8800) my garment <00899 beged> and my mantle <04598 m@, I fell <03766 kara<> (8799) upon my knees <01290 berek>, and spread out <06566 paras> (8799) my hands <03709 kaph> unto the LORD <03068 Y@hovah> my God <00430 >elohiym>, 6 Ezr _ 09 _ 01 {6} Now when these things were done <03615 kalah> (8763), the princes <08269 sar> came <05066 nagash> (8738) to me, saying <00559 >amar> (8800), The people <05971 of Israel <03478 Yisra>el>, and the priests <03548 kohen>, and the Levites <03881 Leviyiy>, have not separated <00914 badal> (8738) themselves from the people <05971 of the lands <00776 >erets>, doing according to their abominations <08441 tow, even

Mitsriy>, and the Amorites <00567 >Emoriy>. 6 Ezr _ 10 _ 06 {6} Then Ezra <05830 > rose up <06965 quwm> (8799) from before <06440 paniym> the house <01004 bayith> of God <00430 >elohiym>, and went <03212 yalak> (8799) into the chamber <03957 lishkah> of Johanan <03076 Y@howchanan> the son <01121 ben> of Eliashib <00475 >Elyashiyb>: and when he came <03212 yalak> (8799) thither, he did eat <00398 >akal> (8804) no bread <03899 lechem>, nor drink <08354 shathah> (8804) water <04325 mayim>: for he mourned <00056 >abal> (8693) because of the transgression <04604 ma of them that had been carried away <01473 gowlah>. 6 Ezr _ 10 _ 01 {6} Now when Ezra <05830 > had prayed <06419 palal> (8692), and when he had confessed <03034 yadah> (8692), weeping <01058 bakah> (8802) and casting himself down <05307 naphal> (8693) before <06440 paniym> the house <01004 bayith> of God <00430 >elohiym>, there assembled <06908 qabats> (8738) unto him out of Israel <03478 Yisra>el> a very <03966

sore <01059 bekeh>. 6 Ezr _ 10 _ 15 {6} Only Jonathan <03129 Yownathan> the son <01121 ben> of Asahel <06214 el> and Jahaziah <03167 Yachz@yah> the son <01121 ben> of Tikvah <08616 Tiqvah> were employed <05975 (8804) about this matter: and Meshullam <04918 M@shullam> and Shabbethai <07678 Shabb@thay> the Levite <03881 Leviyiy> helped <05826 (8804) them. 8675 Ezr _ 08 _ 14 Of the sons <01121

of the land <00776 >erets> weakened <07503 raphah> (8764) the hands <03027 yad> of the people <05971 of Judah <03063 Y@huwdah>, and troubled <00926 bahal> (8764) ({8675}) <01089 balahh> (8764) them in
