Now in the second ^H8145 year ^H8141 of their coming ^H935 to the house ^H1004 of God ^H430 at Jerusalem ^H3389 in the second ^H8145 month ^H2320, Zerubbabel ^H2216 the son ^H1121 of Shealtiel ^H7597 and Jeshua ^H3091 the son ^H1121 of Jozadak ^H3087 and the rest ^H7605 of their brothers ^H251 the priests ^H3548 and the Levites ^H3881, and all ^H3605 who came ^H935 from the captivity ^H7628 to Jerusalem ^H3389, began ^H2490 the work and appointed ^H5975 the Levites ^H3881 from twenty ^H6242 years ^H8141 and older ^H4605 to direct ^H5329 the work ^H4399 of the house ^H1004 of Yahweh ^H3068.

Our adversaries ^H6862 said ^H559, “They will not know ^H3045 or see ^H7200 until ^H5704 H834 we come ^H935 among ^H413 H8432 them, kill ^H2026 them, and put ^H7673 a ^H7673 stop ^H7673 to ^H7673 the work ^H4399.”

Now ^H834 it happened that when our enemies ^H340 heard ^H8085 that it was known ^H3045 to us, and that God ^H430 had thwarted ^H6565 their counsel ^H6098, then all ^H3605 of us returned ^H7725 to the wall ^H2346, each ^H376 one ^H376 to his work ^H4399.

So we kept ^H6213 doing ^H6213 the work ^H4399 with half ^H2677 of them holding ^H2388 spears ^H7420 from [fn]dawn ^H5927 H7837 until ^H5704 the stars ^H3556 came ^H3318 out ^H3318.

For all ^H3605 of them were trying to frighten ^H3372 us, [fn]thinking ^H559, “Their hands ^H3027 will [fn]become limp ^H7503 in doing the work ^H4399, and it will not be done ^H6213.” But now ^H6258, O God, strengthen ^H2388 my hands ^H3027.

Some ^H4480 from among the heads ^H7218 of fathers’ ^H1 households gave ^H5414 to the work ^H4399. The [fn]governor ^H8660 gave ^H5414 to the treasury ^H214 1,000 ^H505 gold ^H2091 [fn]drachmas ^H1871, 50 ^H2572 bowls ^H4219, 530 ^{H7970 H2568 H3967} priests’ ^H3548 tunics ^H3801.

and their [fn]relatives ^H251 who did ^H6213 the work ^H4399 of the [fn]house ^H1004, 822 ^{H8083 H3967 H6242 H8147};

and Adaiah ^H5718 the son ^H1121 of Jeroham ^H3395, the son ^H1121 of Pelaliah ^H6421, the son ^H1121 of Amzi ^H557, the son ^H1121 of Zechariah ^H2148, the son ^H1121 of Pashhur ^H6583, the son ^H1121 of Malchijah ^H4441,

and Shabbethai ^H7678 and Jozabad ^H3107, from the [fn]chiefs ^H7218 of the Levites ^H3881, who were over ^H5921 the outside ^H2435 work ^H4399 of the house ^H1004 of God ^H430;

Now the overseer ^H6496 of the Levites ^H3881 in Jerusalem ^H3389 was Uzzi ^H5813 the son ^H1121 of Bani ^H1137, the son ^H1121 of Hashabiah ^H2811, the son ^H1121 of Mattaniah ^H4983, the son ^H1121 of Mica ^H4316, from the sons ^H1121 of Asaph ^H623, who were the singers ^H7891 [fn]over the work ^H4399 of the house ^H1004 of God ^H430.

I also came to know ^H3045 that the portions ^H4521 of the Levites ^H3881 had not been given ^H5414 them, so the Levites ^H3881 and the singers ^H7891 who did ^H6213 the work ^H4399 had fled ^H1272, each ^H376 to his own field ^H7704.

Thus I cleansed ^H2891 them from everything ^H3605 foreign ^H5236 and ensured that the responsibilities ^H4931 stood ^H5975 for the priests ^H3548 and the Levites ^H3881, each ^H376 in his work ^H4399,

But as for me, the nearness ^H7132 of God ^H430 is my good ^H2896;

I have set ^H7896 Lord ^H136 Yahweh ^H3068 as my refuge ^H4268,

That I may recount ^H5608 all ^H3605 Your works ^H4399.

Those who go ^H3381 down ^H3381 to the sea ^H3220 in ships ^H591,

Who do ^H6213 business ^H4399 on many ^H7227 waters ^H4325;

He also ^H1571 who is slack ^H7503 in his work ^H4399

Is brother ^H251 to him who destroys ^H7843.

Do you see ^H2372 a man ^H376 skilled ^H4106 in his work ^H4399?

He will stand ^H3320 before ^H6440 kings ^H4428;

He will not stand ^H3320 before ^H6440 obscure ^H2823 men ^H2823.

Establish ^H3559 your work ^H4399 outside ^H2351

And make ^H6257 it ready ^H6257 for yourself in the field ^H7704;

And afterwards ^H310, you shall build ^H1129 your house ^H1004.

“But it will be ^H1961, if ^H518 you listen ^H8085 carefully ^H8085 to Me,” declares ^H5002 Yahweh ^H3068, “to bring ^H935 no ^H1115 load ^H4853 in ^H935 through the gates ^H8179 of this ^H2088 city ^H5892 on the sabbath ^H7676 day ^H3117, but to keep ^H6942 the sabbath ^H7676 day ^H3117 holy ^H6942 by doing ^H6213 no ^H1115 H3605 work ^H4399 on it,

“Cursed ^H779 be the one who does ^H6213 the work ^H4399 of Yahweh ^H3068 with a slack ^H7423 hand,

And cursed ^H779 be the one who restrains ^H4513 his sword ^H2719 from blood ^H1818.

Yahweh ^H3068 has opened ^H6605 His armory ^H214

And has brought ^H3318 forth ^H3318 the weapons ^H3627 of His indignation ^H2195,

For it is a work ^H4399 of Lord ^H136 Yahweh ^H3068 of hosts ^H6635

In the land ^H776 of the Chaldeans ^H3778.

“You were in Eden ^H5731, the garden ^H1588 of God ^H430;

Every ^H3605 precious ^H3368 stone ^H68 was your covering ^H4540:

The ruby ^H124, the topaz ^H6357, and the diamond ^H3095;

The beryl ^H8658, the onyx ^H7718, and the jasper ^H3471;

The [fn]lapis ^H5601 lazuli ^H5601, the turquoise ^H5306, and the emerald ^H1304;

And the gold ^H2091, the workmanship ^H4399 of your [fn]settings ^H8596 and [fn]sockets ^H5345,

Was in you.

On the day ^H3117 that you were created ^H1254

They were prepared ^H3559.

Then I, Daniel ^H1840, was [fn]exhausted ^H1961 and sick ^H2470 for days ^H3117. Then I rose ^H6965 up ^H6965 again and did ^H6213 the king’s ^H4428 work ^H4399; but I was ^H8074 appalled ^H8074 at what ^H4758 had appeared ^H4758, and there ^H369 was ^H369 none ^H369 to make me understand ^H995 it.
