let it be ^H3046 known ^H3046 to the king ^H4430 that the Jews ^H3062 who ^H1768 came ^H5559 up ^H5559 from you have come ^H858 to us at Jerusalem ^H3390; they are rebuilding ^H1124 the rebellious ^H4779 and evil ^H873 city ^H7149 and are completing ^H3635 the walls ^H7792 and repairing ^H2338 the foundations ^H787.

“Now ^H3705 let it be ^H3046 known ^H3046 to the king ^H4430, that if ^H2006 that city ^H7149 is rebuilt ^H1124 and the walls ^H7792 are completed ^H3635, they will not give ^H5415 tribute ^H4061, custom ^H1093, or toll ^H1983, and it will damage ^H5142 the revenue ^H674 of the kings ^H4430.

“Now ^H3705 because ^H6903 H1768 we [fn]are in the service ^H4415 of the palace ^H1965, and it is not fitting ^H749 for us to see ^H2370 the king’s ^H4430 [fn]dishonor ^H6173, therefore ^H5922 H1836 we have sent ^H7972 and made ^H3046 known ^H3046 to the king ^H4430,

that ^H1768 a search ^H1240 be made ^H5648 in the record ^H1799 books ^H5609 of your fathers ^H2. And you will find ^H7912 in the record ^H1799 books ^H5609 and come to know ^H3046 that that city ^H7149 is a rebellious ^H4779 city ^H7149 and damaging ^H5142 to kings ^H4430 and provinces ^H4083, and that they have incited ^H5648 revolt ^H849 within ^H1459 it in past ^H5957 days ^H3118; therefore ^H5922 H1836 that city ^H7149 was laid ^H2718 waste ^H2718.

“We make ^H3046 known ^H3046 to the king ^H4430 that if ^H2006 that city ^H7149 is rebuilt ^H1124 and the walls ^H7792 completed ^H3635, as a result ^H6903 you will have ^H383 no ^H3809 portion ^H2508 in the province beyond ^H5675 the River ^H5103.”

Then the king ^H4430 sent ^H7972 an edict ^H6600 to Rehum ^H7348 the commander ^H1169 H2942, to Shimshai ^H8124 the scribe ^H5613, and to the rest ^H7606 of their colleagues ^H3675 who ^H1768 live ^H3488 in Samaria ^H8115 and in the rest ^H7606 of the provinces beyond ^H5675 the River ^H5103: “Peace ^H8001. And now ^H3706—

that strong ^H8624 kings ^H4430 have been ^H1934 over ^H5922 Jerusalem ^H3390, even rulers ^H7990 in all ^H3606 the provinces beyond ^H5675 the River ^H5103, and that tribute ^H4061, custom ^H1093, and toll ^H1983 were given ^H3052 to them.

Then ^H116 as soon ^H4481 H1768 as the copy ^H6573 of King ^H4430 Artaxerxes’ ^H783 document ^H5407 was read ^H7123 before ^H6925 Rehum ^H7348 and Shimshai ^H8124 the scribe ^H5613 and their colleagues ^H3675, they went ^H236 in haste ^H924 to Jerusalem ^H3390 to the Jews ^H3062 and stopped ^H989 them by force ^H153 and military ^H2429.

Then ^H116 the work ^H5673 on the house ^H1005 of God ^H426 in Jerusalem ^H3390 stopped ^H989, and it was stopped ^H989 until ^H5704 the second ^H8648 year ^H8140 of the reign ^H4437 of Darius ^H1868 king ^H4430 of Persia ^H6540.

“To Darius ^H1868 the king ^H4430, all ^H3606 peace ^H8001.

“Let it be ^H3046 known ^H3046 to the king ^H4430 that we have gone ^H236 to the province ^H4083 of Judah ^H3061, to the house ^H1005 of the great ^H7229 God ^H426, and it ^H1932 is being built ^H1124 with huge ^H1560 stones ^H69, and timber ^H636 is being put ^H7761 within the walls ^H3797; and that ^H1791 work ^H5673 is going ^H5648 on with all ^H629 diligence ^H629 and is succeeding ^H6744 in their hands ^H3028.

‘But because ^H4481 H1768 our fathers ^H2 had provoked ^H7265 the God ^H426 of heaven ^H8065 to ^H7265 wrath ^H7265, He gave ^H3052 them into the hand ^H3028 of Nebuchadnezzar ^H5020 king ^H4430 of Babylon ^H895, the Chaldean ^H3779, who destroyed ^H5642 this ^H1836 house ^H1005 and took ^H1541 the people ^H5972 away ^H1541 into exile ^H5972 in Babylon ^H895.

‘However ^H1297, in the first ^H2298 year ^H8140 of Cyrus ^H3567 king ^H4430 of Babylon ^H895, King ^H4430 Cyrus ^H3567 issued ^H7761 a decree ^H2942 to rebuild ^H1124 this ^H1836 house ^H1005 of God ^H426.

‘Also ^H638 the gold ^H1722 and silver ^H3702 utensils ^H3984 of the house ^H1005 of God ^H426, which ^H1768 Nebuchadnezzar ^H5020 had taken ^H5312 from the temple ^H1965 [fn]in Jerusalem ^H3390 and brought ^H2987 them to the temple ^H1965 of Babylon ^H895, these ^H1994 King ^H4430 Cyrus ^H3567 took ^H5312 out ^H5312 from the temple ^H1965 of Babylon ^H895, and they were given ^H3052 to one whose name ^H8036 was Sheshbazzar ^H8340, whom ^H1768 he had appointed ^H7761 governor ^H6347.

with three ^H8532 layers ^H5073 of huge ^H1560 stones ^H69 and [fn]one layer ^H5073 of timbers ^H636. And let the cost ^H5313 be given ^H3052 from the [fn]royal ^H4430 treasury ^H1005.

Then ^H116 Tattenai ^H8674, the governor ^H6347 of the province beyond ^H5675 the River ^H5103, Shethar-bozenai ^H8370 and their colleagues ^H3675 carried ^H5648 out ^H5648 the decree with all ^H629 diligence ^H629, just ^H6903 as King ^H4430 Darius ^H1868 had sent ^H7972.

and to bring ^H2987 the silver ^H3702 and gold ^H1722, which ^H1768 the king ^H4430 and his counselors ^H3272 have freely ^H5069 offered ^H5069 to the God ^H426 of Israel ^H3479, whose ^H1768 dwelling ^H4907 is in Jerusalem ^H3390,

“So I, even I, King ^H4430 Artaxerxes ^H783, issue ^H7761 a decree ^H2942 to all ^H3606 the treasurers ^H1490 who ^H1768 are in the provinces beyond ^H5675 the [fn]River ^H5103, that whatever ^H3606 H1768 Ezra ^H5831 the priest ^H3549, the scribe ^H5613 of the law ^H1882 of the God ^H426 of heaven ^H8065, may ask ^H7593 of you, it shall be done ^H5648 with all ^H629 diligence ^H629,

Because ^H6903 of this ^H1836 the king ^H4430 became ^H1149 indignant ^H1149 and very ^H7690 furious ^H7108 and said ^H560 for them to destroy ^H7 all ^H3606 the wise ^H2445 men ^H2445 of Babylon ^H895.

Therefore ^H6903 H1836, Daniel ^H1841 went ^H5954 in ^H5954 to Arioch ^H746, whom ^H1768 the king ^H4430 had appointed ^H4483 to destroy ^H7 the wise ^H2445 men ^H2445 of Babylon ^H895; he went ^H236 and said ^H560 thus ^H3652 to him: “Do not destroy ^H7 the wise ^H2445 men ^H2445 of Babylon ^H895! Bring ^H5954 me before ^H6925 the king ^H4430, and I will declare ^H2324 the interpretation ^H6591 to the king ^H4430.”
