Ezra 7 :: New American Standard Bible 2020 (NASB20)

And he came ^H935 to Jerusalem ^H3389 in the fifth ^H2549 month ^H2320, which ^H1931 was in the seventh ^H7637 year ^H8141 of the king ^H4428.

Now this ^H2088 is the copy ^H6572 of the letter ^H5406 which ^H834 King ^H4428 Artaxerxes ^H783 gave ^H5414 to Ezra ^H5830 the priest ^H3548, the scribe ^H5608, [fn]learned ^H5608 in the words ^H1697 of the commandments ^H4687 of the LORD ^H3068 and His statutes ^H2706 to Israel ^H3478:

“I myself, King ^H4430 Artaxerxes ^H783, issue ^H7761 a decree ^H2942 to all ^H3606 the treasurers ^H1490 who ^H1768 are in the provinces beyond ^H5675 the Euphrates 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 require ^H7593 of you, it shall be done ^H5648 diligently ^H629,

“And you, Ezra ^H5831, according to the wisdom ^H2452 of your God ^H426 which ^H1768 is in your hand ^H3028, appoint ^H4483 magistrates ^H8200 and judges ^H1782 so ^H1768 that ^H1768 they may judge ^H1934 H1778 all ^H3606 the people ^H5972 who ^H1768 are in the province beyond ^H5675 the Euphrates River ^H5103, that is, all ^H3606 those who know ^H3046 the laws ^H1882 of your God ^H426; and you may teach ^H3046 anyone who ^H1768 is ^H3046 ignorant ^H3809 H3046 of them.

Blessed ^H1288 be the LORD ^H3068, the God ^H430 of our fathers ^H1, who ^H834 has put ^H5414 such a thing as this ^H2088 in the king’s ^H4428 heart ^H3820, to glorify ^H6286 the house ^H1004 of the LORD ^H3068 which ^H834 is in Jerusalem ^H3389,
