All¹ the vesselsª of goldª and of silverª [were] fiveª thousandª and fourª hundred.ª All¹ [these] did Sheshbazzarª bring upª° with¹ [them of] the captivityª that were brought upª° from Babylonª¹ unto Jerusalem.ª" {Ezr 1:7-11} + "Thenª Dariusª the kingª madeª° a decree,ª and search²° was made¹ in the houseª of the rolls,ª whereª¹ the treasuresª were laid upª° in Babylon.ª ... And the Godª that¹ hath caused his nameª to dwellª° thereª destroyª° allª kingsª and people,ª that¹ shall putª° to their handª to alterª° [and] to destroyª° thisª houseª of Godª which¹ [is] at Jerusalem.ª Iª Dariusª have madeª° a decree;ª let it be doneª° with speed.ª" {Ezr 6:1-12} + "This¹ Ezraª went upª° from Babylon;ª¹ and he¹ [was] a readyª scribeª° in the lawª of Moses,ª which¹ the LORDª Godª of Israelª had given:ª° and the kingª grantedª° him all¹ his request,ª according to the handª of the LORDª his Godª upon¹ him." {Ezr 7:6} + "And he cameª° to Jerusalemª in the fifthª month,ª which¹ [was] in the seventhª yearª of the king.ª" {Ezr 7:8} + "Now this¹ [is] the copyª of the letterª that¹ the kingª Artaxerxesª gaveª° unto Ezraª the priest,ª the scribe,ª° [even] a scribeª° of the wordsª of the commandmentsª of the LORD,ª and of his statutesª to¹ Israel.ª ...
