Ezra

Chapter 1

Now in the first year of Cyrus, king of Persia, in order that the word of the Lord given by the mouth of Jeremiah might come true, the spirit of Cyrus, king of Persia, was moved by the Lord, so that he made a public statement through all his kingdom, and put it in writing, saying,

3 Мој:26:42 2 Дн.:36:22 Језд.:5:13 Јер.:25:12 Јер.:29:10 Дан.:6:28 Агеј:1:14

These are the words of Cyrus, king of Persia: The Lord God of heaven has given me all the kingdoms of the earth; and he has made me responsible for building a house for him in Jerusalem, which is in Judah.

Иса.:41:2 Иса.:44:28 Јер.:33:9

Whoever there is among you of his people, may his God be with him, and let him go up to Jerusalem, which is in Judah, and take in hand the building of the house of the Lord, the God of Israel; he is the God who is in Jerusalem.

5 Мој.:3:24 2 Сам.:22:32 Псал.:86:10 Иса.:37:16 Дан.:6:26 Мар.:12:32 1 Кор.:8:6

And whoever there may be of the rest of Israel, living in any place, let the men of that place give him help with offerings of silver and gold and goods and beasts, in addition to the offering freely given for the house of God in Jerusalem.
