Then

the
King
made
a
decree,
and
search
was
made
in
the
house
of
the
rolles,
where
the
treasures
were
laide
vp
in
Babylon.
2
And
there
was
found
at
Achmetha,
in
the
palace
that
is
in
the
prouince
of
the
Medes,
a
rolle,
and
therein
was
a
record
thus
written:
3
In

first
yeere
of
Cyrus
the
king,
the
same
Cyrus
the
king
made
a
decree
concerning
the
house
of
God
at
Ierusalem:
Let
the
house
be
builded,
the
place
where
they
offered
sacrifices,
and
let
the
foundations
thereof
be
strongly
laid,

height
therof
threescore
cubits,
and
the
breadth
thereof
threescore
cubites:
4
With
three
rowes
of
great
stones,
and
a
row
of
new
timber:
and
let
the
expences
bee
giuen
out
of
the
kings
house.
5
And
also
let
the
golden,

siluer
vessels
of
the
house
of
God,
which
Nebuchadnezzar
tooke
foorth
out
of
the
temple
which
is

Ierusalem,
and
brought
vnto
Babylon,
be
restored,
and
brought
againe
vnto
the
temple
which
is
at
Ierusalem,
euery
one
to
his
place,
and
place
them
in
the
house
of
God.
6
Now
therefore
Tatnai,
gouernour
beyond
the
riuer,
Shethar-Boznai,
and
your
companions
the
Apharsachites,
which
are
beyond

riuer,
be

farre
from
thence:
7
Let
the
worke
of
this
house
of
God
alone,
let
the
gouernour
of
the
Iewes,
and
the
elders
of
the
Iewes,
build
this
house
of
God
in
his
place.
8
Moreouer
I
make
a
decree,
what
ye
shall
doe
to
the
Elders
of
these
Iewes,
for
the
building
of
this
house
of
God:
that
of
the

euen
of
the
tribute
beyond

riuer,
forthwith
expences
be
giuen
vnto
these
men,
that
they
be
not
hindered.
9
And
that
which
they
haue
need
of,

yong
bullocks,
and
rammes,
and
lambes,
for
the
burnt
offerings
of
the
God
of
heauen,
wheat,
salt,
wine,
and
oyle,
according
to
the
appoyment
of
the
priests
which
are
at
Ierusalem,
let
it
be

day

without

10
That
they
may

of
sweet
sauours
vnto
the
God
of
heauen,
and
pray
for
the
life
of
the
king,
and

sonnes.
11
Also
I
haue
made
a
decree,
that
whosoeuer

bee
hanged
thereon,
and
let
his
house
bee
made
a
doung
hill
for

12
And
the
God
that
hath
caused
his
name
to
dwell
there,
destroy
all
kings
and
people
that
shall
put
to
their
hand,
to
alter
and
to
destroy
this
house
of
God
which
is
at
Ierusalem.
I
Darius
haue
made
a
decree,
let
it
be
done
with
speed.
13
Then
Tatnai

riuer,
Shethar-Boznai,
&
their

to
that

Darius
the

so
they
did
speedily.
14
And
the
elders
of
the
Iewes
builded,
and
they
prospered,
through
the
prophecying
of
Haggai
the
Prophet,
and
Zechariah
