which the Lord God of Israel gave :
and the king gave him leave ,
for the hand of the Lord his God was upon him in all things which he sought .

And some of the children of Israel went up ,
and some of the priests ,
and of the Levites ,
and the singers ,
and the door-keepers ,
and the Nathinim ,

For in the first day of the first month he began the going up from Babylon ,
and in the first day of the fifth month ,
they came to Jerusalem , (
