CHAP. VI.
At the commandement of Darius King of Persia, after the
Temple was builded & dedicate, the children of Israel keepe
the feast of vnleauened bread.
1 Then note King Darius gaue commandement, &
they made search in the note librarie of the treasures,
which were there layd vp in Babel.
2 And there was founde in a note coffer (in the
palace that was in the prouince of the Medes) a
volume, and therein was it thus written, as a memoriall,
3 In the first yeere of King Cyrus,
King Cyrus made a decree for the house of
God in Ierusalem, Let the house be buylt, euen
the place where they offred sacrifices, and let the
walles thereof be ioyned together: let the height
thereof be three score cubites, and the breadth
thereof three score cubites,
4 Three note orders of note great stones, & one order
of timber, and let the expenses be giuen of the
Kings house.
5 And also let them render the vessels of the
house of God (of golde and siluer, which Nebuchadnezzar
tooke out of the Temple, which was
in Ierusalem, & brought vnto Babel) & let note him
goe vnto the Temple that is in Ierusalem to his
place, and put them in the house of God.
6 Therefore Tatnai captaine beyond the Riuer,
and Shethar Boznai, (and their companions
Apharsecaie, which are beyonde the Riuer) be ye
farre note from thence.
7 Suffer ye the worke of this house of God,
that the captaine of the Iewes and the Elders
The Passeouer.
of the Iewes may buylde this house of God in
his place.
8 For I haue giuen a commandement what
ye shall doe to the Elders of these Iewes, for the
buylding of this house of God, that of the reuenues
of the King, which is of the tribute beyonde
the Riuer, there be incontinently expenses giuen
vnto these men that they note cease not.
9 And that which they shall haue neede of,
let it be giuen vnto them day by day, whether it
be yong bullockes, or rammes, or lambes for the
burnt offrings of the God of heauen, wheate, salt,
wine, and oyle, according to the appoyntment of
the Priestes that are in Ierusalem, that there bee
no fault,
10 That they may haue to offer sweete odours
vnto the God of heauen, and praye for the Kings
life, and for his sonnes.
11 And I haue made a decree, that whosoeuer
shall alter this sentence, the wood shall be pulled
downe from his house, and shall be set vp, and he
shalbe hanged thereon, & his house shalbe made
a dunghill for this.
12 And the God that hath caused his Name
note to dwell there, destroy all Kings & people that
put to their hand to alter, & to destroy this house
of God, which is in Ierusalem. I Darius haue made
a decree, let it be done with speede.
13 ¶2; note Then Tatnai the captaine beyond the
Riuer, and Shethar Boznai & their companions,
according to that which Darius had sent, so they
did speedily.
14 So the Elders of the Iewes builded, & they
prospered by the prophecying of note Haggai the
Prophet, & Zechariah the sonne of Iddo, & they
buylded & finished it, by the appoyntment of the
God of Israel, and by the commandement of Cyrus
and Darius, and Artahshashte king of Persia.
15 And this house was finished the thirde day
of the moneth note Adar, which was note the sixt yeere
of the reigne of King Darius.
16 ¶2; And the children of Israel, the Priestes,
and the Leuites, and the residue of the children of
the captiuitie kept the dedication of this house of
God with ioy,
17 And offred at the dedication of this house
of God an hundreth bullockes, two hundreth
rams, foure hundreth lambes, and twelue goates,
for the sinne of all Israel, according to the nomber
of the tribes of Israel.
18 And they set the Priests in their order, and
the Leuites in their courses ouer the seruice of
God in Ierusalem, as it is written in the note booke
of Moses.
19 And the childr&ebar; of the captiuitie kept the
Passeouer on þe; fourtenth day of the first moneth.
20 (For the Priests and the Leuites were purified
altogether) and they killed the Passeouer for
all the children of the captiuitie, & for their brethren
the Priests, and for themselues.
21 So the children of Israel which were come
againe out of captiuitie, and all such as had note separated
themselues vnto them, from the filthines
of the Heathen of the land, to seeke the Lorde
God of Israel, did eate,
22 And they kept þe; feast of vnleauened bread
seuen dayes with ioy: for the Lord had made them
glad, & turned the heart of the King of note Asshur
vnto them, to note incourage them in the worke of
the house of God, euen the God of Israel.
