Chapter 7
Now
after
these
things,
in
the
reigne
of
Artaxerxes
king
of
Persia,
Ezra
the
son
of
Seraiah,
the
sonne
of
Azariah,
the
sonne
of
Hilkiah,
2
The
sonne
of
Shallum,
the
sonne
of
Zadok,
the
sonne
of
Ahitub,
3
The
sonne
of
Amariah,
the
sonne
of
Azariah,
the
sonne
of
Meraioth,
4
The
sonne
of
Zeraiah,
the
sonne
of
Uzzi,
the
sonne
of
Bukki,
5
The
sonne
of
Abishua,
the
sonne
of
Phinehas,
the
sonne
of
Eleazar,
the
sonne
of
Aaron
the
chiefe
Priest:
6
This
Ezra
went
vp
from
Babylon,
and
hee
was
a
ready
Scribe
in
the
law
of
Moses,
which
the
Lord
God
of
Israel
had
giuen:
and
the
king
granted
him
all
his
request,
according
to
the
hand
of
the
Lord
his
God
vpon
him.
7
And
there
went
vp
some
of
the
children
of
Israel,
and
of
the
Priests,
and
the
Leuites,
and
the
Singers,
and
the
Porters,
and
the
Nethinims,
vnto
Ierusalem,
in
the
seuenth
yeere
of
Artaxerxes
the
king.
8
And
he
came
to
Ierusalem
in
the
fifth
moneth,
which
was
in
the
seuenth
yeere
of
the
king.
9
For
vpon
the
first
day
of
the
first
moneth,
began
he
to
go
vp
fro
Babylon,
and
on
the
first
day
of
the
fifth
moneth,
came
he
to
Ierusalem,
according
to
the
good
hand
of
his
God
vpon
him.
10
For
Ezra
had
prepared
his
heart
to
seeke
the
Law
of
the
Lord,
and
to
doe
it,
and
to
teach
in
Israel,
Statutes
and
Iudgements.
11
Now
this
is
the
copy
of
the
letter
that
the
king
Artaxerxes
gaue
vnto
Ezra
the
Priest,
the
Scribe,
euen
a
Scribe
of
the
words
of
the
commandements
of
the
Lord,
and
of
his
Statutes
to
Israel.
12
Artaxerxes
king
of
kings,
Unto
Ezra
the
Priest,
a
Scribe
of
the
Law
of
the
God
of
heauen,
Perfect
peace,
and
at
such
a
time.
13
I
make
a
decree,
that
all
they
of
the
people
of
Israel,
and
of
his
Priests,
and
Leuites
in
my
Realme,
which
are
minded
of
their
owne
free-will
to
goe
vp
to
Ierusalem,
goe
with
thee.
14
Forasmuch
as
thou
art
sent
of
the
king,
and
of
his
seuen
counsellers,
to
enquire
concerning
Iudah
and
Ierusalem,
according
to
the
Lawe
of
thy
God,
which
is
in
thine
hand;
15
And
to
cary
the
siluer
and
gold,
which
the
king
and
his
counsellers
haue
freely
offered
vnto
the
God
of
Israel,
whose
habitation
is
in
Ierusalem.
16
And
all
the
siluer
and
gold,
that
thou
canst
find
in
all
the
prouince
of
Babylon,
with
the
free-will
offering
of
the
people,
and
of
the
priests,
offering
willingly
for
the
house
of
their
God,
which
is
in
Ierusalem:
17
That
thou
maiest
buy
speedily
with
this
money,
bullockes,
rammes,
lambes,
with
their
meate
offerings,
and
their
drinke
offerings,
and
offer
them
vpon
the
altar
of
the
house
of
your
God,
which
is
in
Ierusalem.
18
And
whatsoeuer
shall
seeme
good
to
thee,
and
to
thy
brethren,
to
doe
with
the
rest
of
the
siluer
and
gold;
that
doe,
after
the
will
of
your
God.
19
The
vessels
also
that
are
giuen
thee,
for
the
seruice
of
the
house
of
thy
God,
those
deliuer
thou
before
the
God
of
Ierusalem.
20
And
whatsoeuer
more
shall
be
needfull
for
the
house
of
thy
God,
which
thou
shalt
haue
occasion
to
bestowe;
bestowe
it
out
of
the
kings
treasure
house.
21
And
I,
euen
I
Artaxerxes
the
king,
doe
make
a
decree
to
all
the
treasurers
which
are
beyond
the
riuer,
that
whatsoeuer
Ezra
the
priest,
the
scribe
of
the
law
of
the
God
of
heauen,
shall
require
of
you,
it
be
done
speedily,
22
Unto
an
hundred
talents
of
siluer,
and
to
an
hundred
measures
of
wheate,
and
to
an
hundred
bathes
of
wine,
and
to
an
hundred
bathes
of
oyle,
and
salt,
without
prescribing
how
much.
23
Whatsoeuer
is
commanded
by
the
God
of
heauen,
let
it
be
diligently
done,
for
the
house
of
the
God
of
heauen:
for
why
should
there
be
wrath
against
the
realme
of
the
king
and
his
sonnes?
24
Also
we
certifie
you,
that
touching
any
of
the
priests,
and
Leuites,
singers,
porters,
Nethinims,
or
ministers
of
this
house
of
God,
it
shall
not
be
lawfull
to
impose
tolle,
tribute,
or
custome
vpon
them.
25
And
thou,
Ezra,
after
the
wisdome
of
thy
God,
that
is
in
thine
hand,
set
magistrates
and
iudges,
which
may
iudge
all
the
people,
that
are
beyond
the
riuer,
all
such
as
know
the
lawes
of
thy
God,
and
teach
yee
them
that
knowe
them
not.
26
And
whosoeuer
will
not
doe
the
law
of
thy
God,
and
the
law
of
the
king,
let
iudgement
be
executed
speedily
vpon
him,
whether
it
be
vnto
death,
or
to
banishment,
or
to
confiscation
of
goods,
or
to
imprisonment.
27
Blessed
be
the
Lord
God
of
our
fathers,
which
hath
put
such
a
thing
as
this,
in
the
kings
heart,
to
beautifie
the
house
of
the
Lord
which
is
in
Ierusalem:
28
And
hath
extended
mercy
vnto
me,
before
the
king
and
his
counsellers,
and
before
all
the
kings
mighty
princes,
and
I
was
strengthned
as
the
hand
of
the
Lord
my
God
was
vpon
me,
and
I
gathered
together
out
of
Israel,
chiefe
men
to
goe
vp
with
me.
