* In the first year of Cyrus king of the Persians , that the word of the Lord by the mouth of Jeremias might be fulfilled , the Lord stirred up the spirit of Cyrus king of the Persians : and he made a proclamation throughout all his kingdom , and in writing also , saying : * Thus saith Cyrus king of the Persians : The Lord the God of heaven hath given to me all the kingdoms of the earth , and he hath charged me to build him a house in Jerusalem , which is in Judea . * Who is there among you of all his people ? His God be with him . Let him go up to Jerusalem , which is in Jndert , and build the house of the Lord the God of Israel : he is the God that is in Jerusalem . * And let all the restin all places wheresoever they dwell , help him every man from his place . with silver and gold , and goods , and cattle , besides that which they offer freely to the temple of God , which is in Jerusalem . * Then rose up the chief of the fathers of Juda and Benjamin , and the priests , and Levites , and every one whose spirit God had raised up , to go up to build the temple of the Lord , which was in Jerusalem . * And all they that were round about , helped their hands with vessels of silver , and gold , with goods , and with beasts , and with furniture , besides what they had offered on their own accord . * And king Cyrus brought forth the vessels of the temple of the Lord , which Nabuchodonosor had taken from Jerusalem , and had put them in the temple of his god . * Now Cyrus king of Persia brought them forth by the hand of Mithridates the son of Gazabar , and numbered them to Sassabasar the prince of Juda . * And this is the number of them : thirty bowls of gold , a thousand bowls of silver , nine and twenty knives , thirty cups of gold , * Silver cups of a second sort , four hundred and ten : other vessels a thousand . * All the vessels of gold and silver , five thousand four hundred : all these Sassabasar brought with them that came up from the captivity of Babylon to Jerusalem .
