15:006:005 And also let the golden and silver vessels of the house of
God, which Nebuchadnezzar took forth out of the temple which
is at Jerusalem, and brought unto Babylon, be restored, and
brought again unto the temple which is at Jerusalem, every one
to his place, and place them in the house of God.
15:006:006 Now therefore, Tatnai, governor beyond the river,
Shetharboznai, and your companions the Apharsachites, which
are beyond the river, be ye far from thence:
15:006:007 Let the work of this house of God alone; let the governor of
the Jews and the elders of the Jews build this house of God in
his place.
15:006:008 Moreover I make a decree what ye shall do to the elders of
these Jews for the building of this house of God: that of the
king's goods, even of the tribute beyond the river, forthwith
expenses be given unto these men, that they be not hindered.
15:006:009 And that which they have need of, both young bullocks, and
rams, and lambs, for the burnt offerings of the God of heaven,
wheat, salt, wine, and oil, according to the appointment of
the priests which are at Jerusalem, let it be given them day
by day without fail:
15:006:010 That they may offer sacrifices of sweet savours unto the God
of heaven, and pray for the life of the king, and of his sons.
15:006:011 Also I have made a decree, that whosoever shall alter this
word, let timber be pulled down from his house, and being set
up, let him be hanged thereon; and let his house be made a
dunghill for this.
15:006:012 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 Jerusalem. I
Darius have made a decree; let it be done with speed.
15:006:013 Then Tatnai, governor on this side the river, Shetharboznai,
and their companions, according to that which Darius the king
had sent, so they did speedily.
15:006:014 And the elders of the Jews builded, and they prospered through
the prophesying of Haggai the prophet and Zechariah the son of
Iddo. And they builded, and finished it, according to the
commandment of the God of Israel, and according to the
commandment of Cyrus, and Darius, and Artaxerxes king of
Persia.
15:006:015 And this house was finished on the third day of the month
Adar, which was in the sixth year of the reign of Darius the
king.
15:006:016 And the children of Israel, the priests, and the Levites, and
the rest of the children of the captivity, kept the dedication
of this house of God with joy.
