¹ And it came to pass, when the wall was built, and I had set up the doors, and the porters and the singers and the Levites were appointed, ² that I gave charge to Ananias my brother, and Ananias the ruler of the palace, over Jerusalem: for he was a true man, and one that feared God beyond many. ³ And I said to them, The gates of Jerusalem shall not be opened till sunrise;

¹ And David was old and full of days; and he made Solomon his son king over Israel in his stead. ² And he assembled all the chief men of Israel, and the priests, and the Levites. ³ And the Levites numbered [themselves] from thirty years old and upward; and their number by their polls amounted to thirty and eight thousand men. ⁴ Of the overseers over the works of the house of the Lord [there were] twenty-four thousand, and [there were] six thousand scribes and judges; ⁵ and four thousand doorkeepers, and four thousand to praise the Lord with instruments which he made to praise the Lord. ⁶ And David divided them [into] daily courses, for the sons of Levi, for Gedson, Caath, and Merari. ⁷ And for [the family of] Gedson, Edan, and Semei. ⁸ The sons of Edan [were] Jeiel, the chief, and Zethan, and Joel, three. ⁹ The sons of Semei; Salomith, Jeiel, and Dan, three: these [were] the chiefs of the families of Edan. ¹⁰ And to the sons of Semei, Jeth, and Ziza, and Joas, and Beria: these [were] the four sons of Semei. ¹¹ And Jeth was the chief, and Ziza the second: and Joas and Beria did not multiply sons, and they became [only] one reckoning according to the house of their father. ¹² The sons of Caath; Ambram, Isaar, Chebron, Oziel, four. ¹³ The sons of Ambram; Aaron and Moses: and Aaron was appointed for the consecration of the most holy things, he and his sons for ever, to burn incense before the Lord, to minister and bless in his name for ever. ¹⁴ And [as for] Moses the man of God, his sons were reckoned to the tribe of Levi. ¹⁵ The sons of Moses; Gersam, and Eliezer. ¹⁶ The sons of Gersam; Subael the chief. ¹⁷ And the sons of Eliezer were, Rabia the chief: and Eliezer had no other sons; but the sons of Rabia were very greatly multiplied. ¹⁸ The sons of Isaar; Salomoth the chief. ¹⁹ The sons of Chebron; Jeria the chief, Amaria the second, Jeziel the third, Jekemias the fourth. ²⁰ The sons of Oziel; Micha the chief, and Isia the second. ²¹ The sons of Merari; Mooli, and Musi: the sons of Mooli; Eleazar, and Kis. ²² And Eleazar died, and he had no sons, but daughters: and the sons of Kis, their brethren, took them. ²³ The sons of Musi; Mooli, and Eder, and Jarimoth, three. ²⁴ These [are] the sons of Levi according to the houses of their fathers; chiefs of their families according to their numbering, according to the number of their names, according to their polls, doing the works of service of the house of the Lord, from twenty years old and upward. ²⁵ For David said, The Lord God of Israel has given rest to his people, and has taken up his abode in Jerusalem for ever. ²⁶ And the Levites bore not the tabernacle, and all the vessels of it for its service. ²⁷ For by the last words of David was the number of the Levites [taken] from twenty years old and upward. ²⁸ For he appointed them to wait on Aaron, to minister in the house of the Lord, over the courts, and over the chambers, and over the purification of all the holy things, and over the works of the service of the house of God; ²⁹ and for the show-bread, and for the fine flour of the meat-offering, and for the unleavened cakes, and for the fried cake, and for the dough, and for every measure; ³⁰ and to stand in the morning to praise and give thanks to the Lord, and so in the evening; ³¹ and [to be] over all the whole burnt offerings that were offered up to the Lord on the sabbaths, and at the new moons, and at the feasts, by number, according to the order [given] to them, continually before the Lord. ³² And they are to keep the charge of the tabernacle of witness, and the charge of the holy place, and the charges of the sons of Aaron their brethren, to minister in the house of the Lord.

¹⁵ But as for the former acts of extortion wherein [those who were] before me oppressed them, they even took of them their last money, forty didrachmas for bread and wine; and the [very] outcasts of them exercised authority over the people: but I did not so, because of the fear of God.

²³ Osee, Anania, Asub,

¹³ to the charge of Selemia the priest, and Sadoc the scribe, and Phadaea of the Levites: and next to them [was] Anan the son of Zacchur, son of Matthanias; for they were accounted faithful: [it was] their office to distribute to their brethren.

¹ And [this is] all Israel, [even] their enrolment: and these [are] written down in the book of the kings of Israel and Juda, with the [names of them] that were carried away to Babylon for their transgressions. ² And they that lived before in their possessions in the cities of Israel, the priests, the Levites, and the appointed ones. ³ And there lived in Jerusalem some of the children of Juda, and of the children of Benjamin, and of the children of Ephraim, and Manasse. ⁴ And Gnothi, and the son of Samiud, the son of Amri, the son of Ambraim, the son of Buni, son of the sons of Phares, the son of Juda. ⁵ And of the Selonites; Asaia his firstborn, and his sons. ⁶ Of the sons of Zara; Jeel, and their brethren, six hundred and ninety. ⁷ And of the sons of Benjamin; Salom, son of Mosollam, son of Odouia, son of Asinu. ⁸ And Jemnaa son of Jeroboam, and Elo: these [are] the sons of Ozi the son of Machir: and Mosollam, son of Saphatia, son of Raguel, son of Jemnai; ⁹ and their brethren according to their generations, nine hundred and fifty-six, all the men [were] heads of families according to the houses of their fathers.

¹⁴ And he carried away [the inhabitants of] Jerusalem, and all the captains, and the mighty men, taking captive ten thousand prisoners, and every artificer and smith: and only the poor of the land were left. ¹⁵ And he carried Joachim away to Babylon, and the king's mother, and the king's wives, and his eunuchs: and he carried away the mighty men of the land into captivity from Jerusalem to Babylon. ¹⁶ And all the men of might, even seven thousand, and one thousand artificers and smiths: all [were] mighty [men] fit for war; and the king of Babylon carried them captive to Babylon.

¹¹ And Nabuzardan the captain of the guard removed the rest of the people that were left in the city, and the men who had deserted to the king of Babylon, and the rest of the multitude.

¹ And the people of the land took Joachaz the son of Josias, and anointed him, and made him king over Jerusalem in the room of his father. ² Joachaz [was] twenty-three years old when he began to reign, and he reigned three months in Jerusalem: and his mother's name was Amital, daughter of Jeremias of Lobna. And he did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord, according to all that his fathers had done. And Pharao Nechao bound him in Deblatha in the land of Aemath, that he might not reign in Jerusalem. ³ And the king brought him over to Egypt; and imposed a tribute on the land, a hundred talents of silver and a talent of gold. ⁴ And Pharao Nechao made Eliakim the son of Josias king over Juda in the room of his father Josias, and changed his name [to] Joakim. And Pharao Nechao took his brother Joachaz and brought him into Egypt, and he died there: but [he] had given the silver and gold to Pharao. At that time the land began to be taxed to give the money at the command of Pharao; and every one as he could borrowed the silver and the gold of the people of the land, to give to Pharao Nechao. ⁵ Joachim was twenty-five years old when he began to reign, and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem: and his mother's name [was] Zechora, daughter of Nerias of Rama. And he did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord, according to all that his fathers did. In his days came Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon into the land, and he served him three years, and [then] revolted from him. And the Lord sent against them the Chaldeans, and plundering parties of Syrians, and plundering parties of the Moabites, and of the children of Ammon, and of Samaria; but after this they departed, according to the word of the Lord by the hand of his servants the prophets. Nevertheless the wrath of the Lord was upon Juda, so that they should be removed from his presence, because of the sins of Manasses in all that he did, and for the innocent blood which Joakim shed, for he had filled Jerusalem with innocent blood; yet the Lord would not utterly destroy them. ⁶ And Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon came up against him, and bound him with brazen fetters, and carried him away to Babylon. ⁷ And he carried away a part of the vessels of the house of the Lord to Babylon, and put them in his temple in Babylon. ⁸ And the rest of the acts of Joakim, and all that he did, behold, [are] not these things written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Juda? And Joakim slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in Ganozae: and Jechonias his son reigned in his stead. ⁹ Jechonias [was] eight years old when he began to reign, and he reigned three months and ten days in Jerusalem, and did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord. ¹⁰ And at the turn of the year, king Nabuchodonosor sent, and brought him to Babylon, with the precious vessels of the house of the Lord, and made Sedekias his father's brother king over Juda and Jerusalem. ¹¹ Sedekias [was] twenty-one years old when he began to reign, and be reigned eleven years in Jerusalem. ¹² And he did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord his God: he was not ashamed before the prophet Jeremias, nor because of the word of the Lord; ¹³ in that he rebelled against king Nabuchodonosor, which he adjured him by God [not to do]: but he stiffened his neck, and hardened his heart, so as not to return to the Lord God of Israel. ¹⁴ And all the great men of Juda, and the priests, and the people of the land transgressed abundantly in the abominations of the heathen, and polluted the house of the Lord which [was] in Jerusalem. ¹⁵ And the Lord God of their fathers sent by the hand of his prophets; rising early and sending his messengers, for he spared his people, and his sanctuary. ¹⁶ Nevertheless they sneered at his messengers, and set at nothing his words, and mocked his prophets, until the wrath of the Lord rose up against his people, till there was no remedy. ¹⁷ And he brought against them the king of the Chaldeans, and killed their young men with the sword in the house of his sanctuary, and did not spare Sedekias, and had no mercy upon their virgins, and they led away their old men: he delivered all things into their hands. ¹⁸ And all the vessels of the house of God, the great and the small, and the treasures of the house of the Lord, and all the treasures of the king and the great men; he brought all to Babylon. ¹⁹ And he burnt the house of the Lord, and broke down the wall of Jerusalem, and burnt its palaces with fire, and [utterly destroyed] every beautiful vessel. ²⁰ And he carried away the remnant to Babylon; and they were servants to him and to his sons until [the establishment of] the kingdom of the Medes. ²¹ That the word of the Lord by the mouth of Jeremias might be fulfilled, until the land should enjoy its sabbaths in resting [and] sabbath keeping all the days of its desolation, till the accomplishment of seventy years. ²² In the first year of Cyrus king of the Persians, after the fulfillment of the word of the Lord by the mouth of Jeremias, the Lord stirred up the spirit of Cyrus king of the Persians, and told him to make proclamation in writing throughout all his kingdom, saying, ²³ Thus says Cyrus king of the Persians to all the kingdoms of the earth, The Lord God of heaven has given me [power], and he has commanded me to build a house to him in Jerusalem, in Judea. Who [is there] of you of all his people? His God shall be with him, and let him go up.

and they were removed, [as polluted], from the priesthood. ⁶³ And the Athersastha told them that they should not eat of the most holy things, until a priest should arise with Lights and Perfections. ⁶⁴ And all the congregation together [were] about forty-two thousand three hundred and sixty;

⁸ Be it known to the king, that we went into the land of Judea, to the house of the great God; and it is building with choice stones, and they are laying timbers in the walls, and that work is prospering, and goes on favorably in their hands.

² And there was found in the city, in the palace, a volume, and this was the record written in it.

¹ The word that came from the Lord to Jeremias in the tenth year of king Sedekias, this is the eighteenth year of king Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon. ² And the host of the king of Babylon had made a rampart against Jerusalem: and Jeremias was kept in the court of the prison, which is in the king's house; ³ in which king Sedekias [had] shut him up, saying, Therefore do you prophesy, saying, Thus says the Lord, Behold, I [will] give this city into the hands of the king of Babylon, and he shall take it; ⁴ and Sedekias shall by no means be delivered out of the hand of the Chaldeans, for he shall certainly be given up into the hands of the king of Babylon, and his mouth shall speak to his mouth, and his eyes shall look upon his eyes; ⁵ and Sedekias shall go into Babylon, and dwell there? ⁶ AND THE WORD OF THE LORD CAME TO JEREMIAS, SAYING, ⁷ Behold, Anameel the son of Salom your father's brother is coming to you, saying, Buy you my field that is in Anathoth: for you [have] the right to take [it] as a purchase. ⁸ So Anameel the son of Salom my father's brother came to me into the court of the prison, and said, Buy you my field that is in the land of Benjamin, in Anathoth: for you [have] a right to buy it, and you are the elder. So I knew that it was the word of the Lord. ⁹ And I bought the field of Anameel the son of my father's brother, and I weighed him seventeen shekels of silver. ¹⁰ And I wrote [it] in a book, and sealed [it], and took the testimony of witnesses, and weighed the money in the balance. ¹¹ And I took the book of the purchase that was sealed; ¹² and I gave it to Baruch son of Nerias, son of Maasaeas, in the sight of Anameel my father's brother's son, and in the sight of the men that stood by and wrote in the book of the purchase, and in the sight of the Jews that were in the court of the prison. ¹³ And I charged Baruch in their presence, saying, Thus says the Lord Almighty; ¹⁴ Take this book of the purchase, and the book that has been read; and you shall put it into an earthen vessel, that it may remain many days. ¹⁵ For thus says the Lord; There shall yet be bought fields and houses and vineyards in this land. ¹⁶ And I prayed to the Lord after I had given the book of the purchase to Baruch the son of Nerias, saying, ¹⁷ O [ever] living Lord! you have made the heaven and the earth by your great power, and with your high and lofty arm: nothing can be hidden from you. ¹⁸ Granting mercy to thousands, and recompensing the sins of the fathers into the bosoms of their children after them: the great, the strong God;

¹ It was the twenty-first year of Sedekias, when he began to reign, and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Amitaal, the daughter of Jeremias, of Lobena.

⁴ And it came to pass in the ninth year of his reign, in the ninth month, on the tenth day of the month, [that] Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon came, and all his host, against Jerusalem, and they made a rampart round it, and built a wall round about it with large stones. ⁵ So the city was besieged, until the eleventh year of king Sedekias, ⁶ on the ninth day of the month, and [then] the famine was severe in the city, and there was no bread for the people of the land. ⁷ And the city was broken up, and all the men of war went out by night by the way of the gate, between the wall and the outworks, which were by the king's garden; and the Chaldeans were by the city round about; and they went by the way [leading] to the wilderness. ⁸ But the host of the Chaldeans pursued after the king, and overtook him in the [country] beyond Jericho; and all his servants were dispersed from [about] him. ⁹ And they took the king, and brought him to the king of Babylon to Deblatha, and he judged him. ¹⁰ And the king of Babylon killed the sons of Sedekias before his eyes; and he killed all the princes of Juda in Deblatha. ¹¹ And he put out the eyes of Sedekias, and bound him in fetters; and the king of Babylon brought him to Babylon, and put him into the grinding-house, until the day when he died. ¹² And in the fifth month, on the tenth day of the month, Nabuzardan the captain of the guard, who waited on the king of Babylon, came to Jerusalem; ¹³ and he burnt the house of the Lord, and the king's house; and all the houses of the city, and every great house he burnt with fire. ¹⁴ And the host of the Chaldeans that was with the captain of the guard pulled down all the wall of Jerusalem round about.

¹⁶ But the captain of the guard left the remnant of the people to be vinedressers and husbandmen. ¹⁷ And the Chaldeans broke in pieces the brazen pillars that were in the house of the Lord, and the bases, and the brazen sea that was in the house of the Lord, and they took the brass thereof, and carried it away to Babylon. ¹⁸ Also the rim, and the bowls, and the flesh hooks, and all the brazen vessels, wherewith they ministered; ¹⁹ and the basins, and the snuffers, and the oil-funnels, and the candlesticks, and the censers, and the cups, the golden, of gold, and the silver, of silver, the captain of the guard took away. ²⁰ And the two pillars, and the one sea, and the twelve brazen oxen under the sea, which [things] king Solomon made for the house of the Lord; the brass of which [articles] was without weight. ²¹ And as for the pillars, the height of one pillar was thirty-five cubits; and a line of twelve cubits compassed it round; and the thickness of it [all] round was four fingers. ²² And [there was] a brazen chapiter upon them, and the length was five cubits, [even] the height of one chapiter; and [there were] on the chapiter round about network and pomegranates, all of brass: and correspondingly the second pillar [had] eight pomegranates to a cubit for the twelve cubits. ²³ And the pomegranates were ninety-six on a side; and all the pomegranates on the network round about were a hundred. ²⁴ And the captain of the guard took the chief priest, and the second priest, and those that kept the way; ²⁵ and one eunuch, who was over the men of war, and seven men of renown, who were in the king's presence that were found in the city; and the scribe of the forces, who did the part of a scribe to the people of the land; and sixty men of the people of the land, who were found in the midst of the city. ²⁶ And Nabuzardan the captain of the king's guard took them, and brought them to the king of Babylon to Deblatha. ²⁷ And the king of Babylon struck them in Deblatha, in the land of Aemath.

³¹ And it came to pass in the thirty-seventh year after that Joakim king of Juda had been carried away captive, in the twelfth month, on the four and twentieth [day] of the month, [that] Ulaemadachar king of Babylon, in the year in which he began to reign, raised the head of Joakim king of Juda, and shaved him, and brought him out of the house where he was kept, ³² and spoke kindly to him, and set his throne above the kings that were with him in Babylon, ³³ and changed his prison garments: and he ate bread continually before him all the days that he lived. ³⁴ And his appointed portion was given him continually by the king of Babylon from day to day, until the day when he died.

² Then rose up Zorobabel the [son] of Salathiel, and Jesus the son of Josedec, and began to build the house of God that was in Jerusalem: and with them [were] the prophets of God assisting them.

¹ And the Lord showed me Jesus the high priest standing before the angel of the Lord, and the Devil stood on his right hand to resist him. ² And the Lords said to the Devil, ³ The Lord rebuke you, O Devil, even the Lord that has chosen Jerusalem rebuke you: behold! is not this as a brand plucked from the fire?

⁴² The children of the porters, the children of Sellum, the children of Ater, the children of Telmon, the children of Acub, the children of Atita, the children of Sobai, [in] all a hundred [and] thirty-nine.

² Speak to the children of Israel, and you shall say to them, Whosoever shall vow a vow as the valuation of his soul for the Lord, ³ the valuation of a male from twenty years old to sixty years old shall be his valuation shall be fifty didrachmas of silver by the standard of the sanctuary. ⁴ And the valuation of a female shall be thirty didrachmas. ⁵ And if it be from five years old to twenty, the valuation of a male shall be twenty didrachmas, and of a female ten didrachmas. ⁶ And from a month old to five years old, the valuation of a male shall be five didrachmas, and of a female, three didrachmas of silver. ⁷ And if from sixty year [old] and upward, if it be a male, his valuation shall be fifteen didrachmas of silver, and if a female, ten didrachmas. ⁸ And if the man be too poor for the valuation, he shall stand before the priest; and the priest shall value him: according to what the man who has vowed can afford, the priest shall value him.

²³ And now you⌃ are cursed: there shall not fail of you a slave, or a hewer of wood, or a drawer of water to me and my God. ²⁴ And they answered Joshua, saying, It was reported to us what the Lord your God charged his servant Moses, to give you this land, and to destroy us and all that lived on it from before you; and we feared very much for our lives because of you, and [therefore] we did this thing. ²⁵ And now, behold, we [are] in your power; do to us as it is pleasing to you, and as it seems [good] to you. ²⁶ And they did so to them; and Joshua rescued them in that day out of the hands of the children of Israel, and they did not kill them. ²⁷ And Joshua made them in that day hewers of wood and drawers of water to the whole congregation, and for the altar of God: therefore the inhabitants of Gabaon became hewers of wood and drawers of water for the altar of God until this day, even for the place which the Lord should choose.

² And they that lived before in their possessions in the cities of Israel, the priests, the Levites, and the appointed ones.

⁴³ The Nathinim: the children of Suthia, the children of Asupha, the children of Tabaoth, ⁴⁴ the sons of Cades, the children of Siaa, the children of Phadon, ⁴⁵ the children of Labano, the children of Agaba, the sons of Acub, ⁴⁶ the children of Agab, the children of Selami, the children of Anan,

⁴⁹ the children of Azo, the children of Phase, the children of Basi, ⁵⁰ the children of Asena, the children of Mounim, the children of Nephusim,

⁵² the children of Basaloth, the children of Mauda, the children of Arsa, ⁵³ the children of Barcos, the children of Sisara, the children of Thema,

⁵⁵ The children of the servants of Solomon: the children of Sotai, the children of Sephera, the children of Phadura, ⁵⁶ the children of Jeela, the children of Darcon, the children of Gedel, ⁵⁷ the children of Saphatia, the children of Atil, the children of Phacherath, the children of Aseboim, the children of Emei. ⁵⁸ All the Nathanim, and the sons of Abdeselma [were] three hundred and ninety-two. ⁵⁹ And these [are] they that went up from Thelmelech, Thelaresa, Cherub, Hedan, Emmer: and they were not able to tell the house of their fathers, and their seed, whether they were of Israel: ⁶⁰ the children of Dalaea, the children of Bua, the children of Tobias, the children of Necoda, six hundred [and] fifty-two.

²⁷ And it came to pass when David came to Manaim, that Uesbi the son of Naas of Rabbath of the sons of Ammon, and Machir son of Amiel of Lodabar, and Berzelli the Galaadite of Rogellim,

³¹ And Berzelli the Galaadite came down from Rogellim, and crossed over Jordan with the king, that he might conduct the king over Jordan. ³² And Berzelli was a very old man, eighty years old; and he had maintained the king when he lived in Manaim; for he was a very great man. ³³ And the king said to Berzelli, You shall go over with me, and I will nourish your old age with me in Jerusalem.

⁷ But you shall deal kindly with the sons of Berzelli the Galaadite, and they shall be among those that eat at your table; for thus they drew near to me when I fled from the face of your brother Abessalom.

⁶¹ And of the children of the priests, the children of Labeia, the children of Akkus, the children of Berzellai, who took a wife of the daughter of Berzellai the Galaadite, and was called by their name. ⁶² These sought their genealogy [as though] they had been reckoned, but they were not found; and they were removed, [as polluted], from the priesthood. ⁶³ And the Athersastha told them that they should not eat of the most holy things, until a priest should arise with Lights and Perfections.

³ if the anointed priest sin so as to cause the people to sin, then shall he bring for his sin, which he has sinned, an unblemished calf of the herd to the Lord for his sin.

¹ And [this is] all Israel, [even] their enrolment: and these [are] written down in the book of the kings of Israel and Juda, with the [names of them] that were carried away to Babylon for their transgressions.

⁵ And God put [it] into my heart, and I gathered the nobles, and the rulers, and the people, into companies: and I found a register of the company that came up first, and I found written in it as follows:

²⁹ Remember them, O God, for their [false] connection with the priesthood, and [the breaking] the covenant of the priesthood, and [for defiling] the Levites.

³⁰ A bell by the side of a golden pomegranate, and flower-work on the fringe of the robe round about.

³ And the remainder of the sacrifice shall be for Aaron and his sons, a most holy portion from the sacrifices of the Lord.

¹⁰ And that which is left of the sacrifice [shall be] for Aaron and his sons, most holy from the burnt offerings of the Lord.

¹⁷ It shall not be baked with leaven. I have given it as a portion to them of the burnt offerings of the Lord: it is most holy, as the offering for sin, and as the offering for trespass.

¹⁹ You shall also speak to the children of Israel, saying, He that offers a sacrifice of peace-offering, shall bring his gift to the Lord also from the sacrifice of peace-offering. ²⁰ His hands shall bring the burnt offerings to the Lord; the fat which is on the breast and the lobe of the liver, he shall bring them, so as to set them for a gift before the Lord.

¹⁷ Why did you⌃ not eat the sin-offering in the holy place? for because it is most holy he has given you this to eat, that you⌃ might take away the sin of the congregation, and make atonement for them before the Lord. ¹⁸ For the blood of it was not brought into the holy place: you⌃ shall eat it within, before [the Lord], as the Lord commanded me.

²¹ Whoever of the seed of Aaron the priest has a blemish on him, shall not draw near to offer sacrifices to your God, because he has a blemish on him; he shall not draw near to offer the gifts of God. ²² The gifts of God [are] most holy, and he shall eat of the holy things. ²³ Only he shall not approach the veil, and he shall not draw near to the altar, because he has a blemish; and he shall not profane the sanctuary of his God, for I am the Lord that sanctifies them.

²¹ And he shall stand before Eleazar the priest, and they shall ask of him before the Lord the judgment of the Urim: they shall go forth at his word, and at his word they shall come in, he and the children of Israel with one accord, and all the congregation.

⁸ And to Levi he said, Give to Levi his manifestations, and his truth to the holy man, whom they tempted in the temptation; they reviled him at the water of strife.

⁶³ And the Athersastha told them that they should not eat of the most holy things, until a priest should arise with Lights and Perfections.

⁹ And Neemias, and Esdras the priest and scribe, and the Levites, and they that instructed the people, spoke and said to all the people, It is a holy day to the Lord our God; do not mourn, nor weep. For all the people wept when they heard the words of the law.

¹ And over them that sealed were Neemias the Artasastha, son of Achalia, and Zedekias,

⁶⁴ And all the congregation together [were] about forty-two thousand three hundred and sixty; ⁶⁵ besides their menservants and maidservants, [and] these were seven thousand three hundred [and] thirty-seven: and [among] these were two hundred singing men and singing women.

¹ Thus says the Lord God to my anointed Cyrus, whose right hand I have held, that nations might be obedient before him; and I will break through the strength of kings; I will open doors before him, and cities shall not be closed. ² I will go before you, and will level mountains: I will break to pieces brazen doors, and burst iron bars.

⁷ All that found them consumed them: their enemies said, Let us not leave them alone, because they have sinned against the Lord: he that gathered their fathers [had] a pasture of righteousness.

⁶⁶ Their horses [were] seven hundred [and] thirty-six, their mules, two hundred [and] forty-five. ⁶⁷ Their camels, four hundred [and] thirty-five; their asses, six thousand seven hundred [and] twenty.

²² And you⌃ shall take a bunch of hyssop, and having dipped it into some of the blood that is by the door, you⌃ shall touch the lintel, and [shall put it] upon both door-posts, even of the blood which is by the door; but you⌃ shall not go out every one from the door of his house till the morning.

⁶ And Moses took half the blood and poured it into bowls, and half the blood he poured out upon the altar.

² And the princes of Israel brought [gifts], twelve princes of their fathers' houses: these were the heads of tribes, these are they that presided over the numbering. ³ And they brought their gift before the Lord, six covered waggons, and twelve oxen; a waggon from two princes, and a calf from each: and they brought them before the tabernacle. ⁴ And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, ⁵ Take of them, and they shall be for the works of the services of the tabernacle of witness: and you shall give them to the Levites, to each one according to his ministration. ⁶ And Moses took the waggons and the oxen, and gave them to the Levites. ⁷ And he gave two waggons and four oxen to the sons of Gedson, according to their ministrations. ⁸ And four waggons and eight oxen he gave to the sons of Merari according to their ministrations, by Ithamar the son of Aaron the priest. ⁹ But to the sons of Caath he gave them not, because they have the ministrations of the sacred things: they shall bear them on their shoulders. ¹⁰ And the rulers brought [gifts] for the dedication of the altar, in the day in which he anointed it, and the rulers brought their gifts before the altar. ¹¹ And the Lord said to Moses, One chief each day, they shall offer their gifts a chief each day for the dedication of the altar. ¹² And he that offered his gift on the first day, was Naasson the son of Aminadab, prince of the tribe of Juda. ¹³ And he brought his gift, one silver charger of a hundred and thirty shekels was its weight, one silver bowl, of seventy shekels according to the holy shekel; both full of fine flour kneaded with oil for a meat-offering. ¹⁴ One golden censer of ten shekels full of incense. ¹⁵ One calf of the herd, one ram, one he-lamb of a year old for a whole burnt offering; ¹⁶ and one kid of the goats for a sin-offering. ¹⁷ And for a sacrifice of peace-offering, two heifers, five rams, five he goats, five ewe-lambs of a year old: this [was] the gift of Naasson the son of Aminadab. ¹⁸ On the second day Nathanael son of Sogar, the prince of the tribe of Issachar, brought [his offering]. ¹⁹ And he brought his gift, one silver charger, its weight a hundred and thirty shekels, one silver bowl of seventy shekels according to the holy shekel; both full of fine flour kneaded with oil for a meat-offering. ²⁰ One censer of ten golden shekels, full of incense. ²¹ One calf of the herd, one ram, one he-lamb of a year old for a whole burnt offering, ²² and one kid of the goats for a sin-offering. ²³ And for a sacrifice, a peace-offering, two heifers, five rams, five he-goats, five ewe-lambs of a year old: this [was] the gift of Nathanael the son of Sogar. ²⁴ On the third day the prince of the sons of Zabulon, Eliab the son of Chaelon. ²⁵ [He brought] his gift, one silver charger, its weight a hundred and thirty shekels, one silver bowl of seventy shekels according to the holy shekel; both full of fine flour kneaded with oil for a meat-offering. ²⁶ One golden censer of ten shekels, full of incense. ²⁷ One calf of the herd, one ram, one he-lamb of a year old for a whole burnt offering, ²⁸ and one kid of the goats for a sin-offering. ²⁹ And for a sacrifice of peace-offering, two heifers, five rams, five he-goats, five ewe-lambs of a year old: this [was] the gift of Eliab the son of Chaelon. ³⁰ On the fourth day Elisur the son of Sediur, the prince of the children of Ruben. ³¹ [He brought] his gift, one silver charger, its weight a hundred and thirty shekels, one silver bowl of seventy shekels according to the holy shekel;

both full of fine flour kneaded with oil for a meat-offering. ³⁸ One golden censer of ten shekels, full of incense. ³⁹ One calf of the herd, one ram, one he-lamb of a year old for a whole burnt offering, ⁴⁰ and one kid of the goats for a sin-offering. ⁴¹ And for a sacrifice of peace-offering, two heifers, five rams, five he-goats, five ewe-lambs of a year old: this [was] the gift of Salamiel the son of Surisadai. ⁴² On the sixth day the prince of the sons of Gad, Elisaph the son of Raguel. ⁴³ [He brought] his gift, one silver charger, its weight a hundred and thirty shekels, one silver bowl of seventy shekels according to the holy shekel; both full of fine flour kneaded with oil for a meat offering. ⁴⁴ One golden censer of ten shekels, full of incense. ⁴⁵ One calf of the herd, one ram, one he-lamb of a year old for a whole burnt offering, ⁴⁶ and one kid of the goats for a sin-offering. ⁴⁷ And for a sacrifice of peace-offering, two heifers, five rams, five he-goats, five ewe-lambs of a year old: this [was] the gift of Elisaph the son of Raguel. ⁴⁸ On the seventh day the prince of the sons of Ephraim, Elisama the son of Emiud. ⁴⁹ [He brought] his gift, one silver charger, its weight was a hundred and thirty shekels, one silver bowl of seventy shekels according to the holy shekel;

⁴⁵ And the caldrons, and pans, and bowls, and all the furniture, which Chiram made for king Solomon for the house of the Lord: and [there were] eight and forty pillars of the house of the king and of the house of the Lord: all the works of the king which Chiram made were entirely of brass.

¹⁷ also of the flesh hooks, and vessels for drink-offering, and golden bowls: and the weight of the gold and silver [articles], and censers, [and] bowls, according to the weight of each.

³ And still farther, because I took pleasure in the house of my God, I have gold and silver which I have procured for myself, and, behold, I have given them to the house of my God over and above, beyond what I have prepared for the holy house. ⁴ Three thousand talents of gold of Suphir, and seven thousand talents of fine silver, for the overlaying of the walls of the sanctuary: ⁵ [for you to use] the gold for [things of] gold, and the silver for things of silver, and for every work by the hand of the artificers. And who is willing to dedicate himself in work this day for the Lord? ⁶ Then the heads of families, and the princes of the children of Israel, and the captains of thousands and captains of hundreds, and the overseers of the works, and the king's builders, offered willingly. ⁷ And they gave for the works of the house of the Lord five thousand talents of gold, and ten thousand gold [pieces], and ten thousand talents of silver, and eighteen thousand talents of brass, and a hundred thousand talents of iron. ⁸ And they who had [precious] stone, gave it into the treasuries of the house of the Lord by the hand of Jeiel the Gedsonite. ⁹ And the people rejoiced because of the willingness, for they offered willingly to the Lord with a full heart: and king David rejoiced greatly.

⁸ And he made ten tables, and put them in the temple, five on the right hand, and five on the left: and he made a hundred golden bowls.

¹¹ And Chiram made the flesh hooks, and the fire-pans, and the grate of the altar, and all its instruments: and Chiram finished doing all the work which he wrought for king Solomon in the house of God:

⁶⁵ And the Athersastha said, that they should not eat of the most holy things, until a priest should stand up to give light.

¹⁹ and the basins, and the snuffers, and the oil-funnels, and the candlesticks, and the censers, and the cups, the golden, of gold, and the silver, of silver, the captain of the guard took away.

¹⁹ [Such a one] as would not reverence the face of an honorable man, neither knows how to give honor to the great, so as that their persons should be respected.

⁷⁰ So the priests, and the Levites, and some of the people, and the singers, and the porters, and the Nathinim, lived in their cities, and all Israel in their cities.
