1 Now in the first year of Koresh (Cyrus) [possess you the furnace] king of Paras (Persia) [pure or splendid], that the word of the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) by the mouth of Yirmeyahu [whom Yehovah has appointed] might be fulfilled, the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) stirred up the spirit of Koresh (Cyrus) [possess you the furnace] king of Paras (Persia) [pure or splendid], that he made a proclamation throughout all his kingdom, and [put it] also in writing, saying,
2 Thus says Koresh (Cyrus) [possess you the furnace] king of Paras (Persia) [pure or splendid], The LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] of heaven has given me all the kingdoms of the earth; and he has charged me to build him an house at Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace], which [is] in Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised].
3 Who [is there] among you of all his people? his God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] be with him, and let him go up to Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace], which [is] in Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised], and build the house of the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God], (he [is] the God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered],) which [is] in Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace].
4 And whosoever remains in any place where he sojournes, let the men of his place help him with silver, and with gold, and with goods, and with beasts, beside the freewill offering for the house of God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] that [is] in Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace].
Gifts of Israel and Cyrus to Rebuild the House of the Lord
5 Then rose up the chief of the fathers of Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised] and Binyamin [Son of the Right Hand/Strength], and the priests, and the Levi’im (Levites) [Joined to], with all [them] whose spirit God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] had raised, to go up to build the house of the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) which [is] in Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace].
6 And all they that [were] about them strengthened their hands with vessels of silver, with gold, with goods, and with beasts, and with precious things, beside all [that] was willingly offered.
7 Also Koresh (Cyrus) [possess you the furnace] the king brought forth the vessels of the house of the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), which N’vukhadnetzar [May Nebo protect the crown] had brought forth out of Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace], and had put them in the house of his gods;
8 Even those did Koresh (Cyrus) [possess you the furnace] king of Paras (Persia) [pure or splendid] bring forth by the hand of Mitr’dat [given by Mithra (covenant)] the treasurer, and numbered them unto Sheshbatzar [worshipper of fire], the prince of Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised].
9 And this [is] the number of them: thirty chargers of gold, a thousand chargers of silver, nine and twenty knives,
10 Thirty basons of gold, silver basons of a second [sort] four hundred and ten, [and] other vessels a thousand.
11 All the vessels of gold and of silver [were] five thousand and four hundred. All [these] did Sheshbatzar [worshipper of fire] bring up with [them of] the captivity that were brought up from Bavel (to jumble, or a confused medley of sounds; confusion; gate of the deity) (Babylon) [confusion] unto Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace].
