Ezra 1

Gen Z: Ezra 1

1So in the first year of Cyrus, the king of Persia, God was like, "Time to make things happen," and stirred up Cyrus to drop a major announcement across his kingdom, no cap.

2Cyrus, king of Persia, said, "Yo, the Lord God of heaven just handed me all the kingdoms, and I'm tasked to build a crib for Him in Jerusalem, no cap."

3Who's down to roll with their people? If your God’s with you, head up to Jerusalem and build the Lord's house, fr.

4And if you’re chillin' where you are, let the homies help you out with silver, gold, goods, and animals, plus whatever else you wanna offer for God’s house in Jerusalem.

5Then the heads of Judah and Benjamin, along with priests and Levites, got hyped and decided to bounce to build the Lord’s house in Jerusalem, all thanks to God’s vibe check.

6Everyone around them showed love with silver, gold, goods, and animals, plus all the cool stuff they willingly offered.

7Cyrus the king brought out the items from the Lord's house that Nebuchadnezzar had taken from Jerusalem and put in his own gods’ crib, savage move.

8Cyrus even had his treasurer, Mithredath, bring those items to Sheshbazzar, the prince of Judah, like, “Here you go.”

9And here’s the deets: thirty gold chargers, a thousand silver chargers, and twenty-nine knives, that’s lit.

10Thirty gold basins, four hundred and ten silver basins of a second kind, and a thousand other vessels, just vibing.

11All the gold and silver vessels totaled five thousand four hundred. Sheshbazzar brought all these back from Babylon to Jerusalem, no cap.

KJV: Ezra 1

1Now in the first year of Cyrus king of Persia, that the word of the Lord by the mouth of Jeremiah might be fulfilled, the Lord stirred up the spirit of Cyrus king of Persia, that he made a proclamation throughout all his kingdom, and put it also in writing, saying,

2Thus saith Cyrus king of Persia, The Lord God of heaven hath given me all the kingdoms of the earth; and he hath charged me to build him an house at Jerusalem, which is in Judah.

3Who is there among you of all his people? his God be with him, and let him go up to Jerusalem, which is in Judah, and build the house of the Lord God of Israel, (he is the God,) which is in Jerusalem.

4And whosoever remaineth in any place where he sojourneth, 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 that is in Jerusalem.

5Then rose up the chief of the fathers of Judah and Benjamin, and the priests, and the Levites, with all them whose spirit God had raised, to go up to build the house of the Lord which is in Jerusalem.

6And 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.

7Also Cyrus the king brought forth the vessels of the house of the Lord, which Nebuchadnezzar had brought forth out of Jerusalem, and had put them in the house of his gods;

8Even those did Cyrus king of Persia bring forth by the hand of Mithredath the treasurer, and numbered them unto Sheshbazzar, the prince of Judah.

9And this is the number of them: thirty chargers of gold, a thousand chargers of silver, nine and twenty knives,

10Thirty basons of gold, silver basons of a second sort four hundred and ten, and other vessels a thousand.

11All the vessels of gold and of silver were five thousand and four hundred. All these did Sheshbazzar bring up with them of the captivity that were brought up from Babylon unto Jerusalem.
