Bible Reading for October 03

Ezra 1
[1] Now 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, [2] Thus 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.
[3] Who 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. [4] And 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.
[5] Then 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. [6] And 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. [7] Also 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;
[8] Even those did Cyrus king of Persia bring forth by the hand of Mithredath
the treasurer, and numbered them unto Sheshbazzar, the prince of Judah.
[9] And this is the number of them: thirty chargers of gold, a thousand
chargers of silver, nine and twenty knives, [10] Thirty basons of gold, silver
basons of a second sort four hundred and ten, and other vessels a thousand.
[11] All 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.

and two.
[59] And these were they which went up from Tel-melah, Tel-harsa, Cherub,
Addan, and Immer: but they could not shew their father's house, and their seed,
whether they were of Israel:
[60] The children of Delaiah, the children of Tobiah, the children of Nekoda,
six hundred fifty and two.
[61] And of the children of the priests: the children of Habaiah, the children
of Koz, the children of Barzillai; which took a wife of the daughters of
Barzillai the Gileadite, and was called after their name: [62] These sought
their register among those that were reckoned by genealogy, but they were not
found: therefore were they, as polluted, put from the priesthood.
[63] And the Tirshatha said unto them, that they should not eat of the most
holy things, till there stood up a priest with Urim and with Thummim. [64] The
whole congregation together was forty and two thousand three hundred and
threescore,
[65] Beside their servants and their maids, of whom there were seven thousand
three hundred thirty and seven: and there were among them two hundred singing
men and singing women. [66] Their horses were seven hundred thirty and six;
their mules, two hundred forty and five;
[67] Their camels, four hundred thirty and five; their asses, six thousand
seven hundred and twenty.
[68] And some of the chief of the fathers, when they came to the house of the
LORD which is at Jerusalem, offered freely for the house of God to set it up in
his place:
[69] They gave after their ability unto the treasure of the work threescore and
one thousand drams of gold, and five thousand pound of silver, and one hundred
priests' garments.
[70] So the priests, and the Levites, and some of the people, and the singers,
and the porters, and the Nethinims, dwelt in their cities, and all Israel in
their cities.

Ezra 3
[1] And when the seventh month was come, and the children of Israel were in the
cities, the people gathered themselves together as one man to Jerusalem. [2]
Then stood up Jeshua the son of Jozadak, and his brethren the priests, and
Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, and his brethren, and builded the altar of the
God of Israel, to offer burnt offerings thereon, as it is written in the law of
Moses the man of God.
[3] And they set the altar upon his bases; for fear was upon them because of
the people of those countries: and they offered burnt offerings thereon unto
the LORD, even burnt offerings morning and evening. [4] They kept also the
feast of tabernacles, as it is written, and offered the daily burnt offerings
by number, according to the custom, as the duty of every day required;
[5] And afterward offered the continual burnt offering, both of the new moons,
and of all the set feasts of the LORD that were consecrated, and of every one
that willingly offered a freewill offering unto the LORD. [6] From the first
day of the seventh month began they to offer burnt offerings unto the LORD. But
the foundation of the temple of the LORD was not yet laid.
[7] They gave money also unto the masons, and to the carpenters; and meat, and
drink, and oil, unto them of Zidon, and to them of Tyre, to bring cedar trees
from Lebanon to the sea of Joppa, according to the grant that they had of Cyrus
king of Persia.
[8] Now in the second year of their coming unto the house of God at Jerusalem,
in the second month, began Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, and Jeshua the son
of Jozadak, and the remnant of their brethren the priests and the Levites, and
all they that were come out of the captivity unto Jerusalem; and appointed the
Levites, from twenty years old and upward, to set forward the work of the house
of the LORD. [9] Then stood Jeshua with his sons and his brethren, Kadmiel and
his sons, the sons of Judah, together, to set forward the workmen in the house
of God: the sons of Henadad, with their sons and their brethren the Levites.
[10] And when the builders laid the foundation of the temple of the LORD, they
set the priests in their apparel with trumpets, and the Levites the sons of
Asaph with cymbals, to praise the LORD, after the ordinance of David king of
Israel.
[11] And they sang together by course in praising and giving thanks unto the
LORD; because he is good, for his mercy endureth for ever toward Israel. And
all the people shouted with a great shout, when they praised the LORD, because
the foundation of the house of the LORD was laid. [12] But many of the priests
and Levites and chief of the fathers, who were ancient men, that had seen the
first house, when the foundation of this house was laid before their eyes, wept
with a loud voice; and many shouted aloud for joy:
[13] So that the people could not discern the noise of the shout of joy from
the noise of the weeping of the people: for the people shouted with a loud
shout, and the noise was heard afar off.

Ezra 4
[1] Now when the adversaries of Judah and Benjamin heard that the children of
the captivity builded the temple unto the LORD God of Israel; [2] Then they
came to Zerubbabel, and to the chief of the fathers, and said unto them, Let us
build with you: for we seek your God, as ye do; and we do sacrifice unto him
since the days of Esar-haddon king of Assur, which brought us up hither.
[3] But Zerubbabel, and Jeshua, and the rest of the chief of the fathers of
Israel, said unto them, Ye have nothing to do with us to build an house unto
our God; but we ourselves together will build unto the LORD God of Israel, as
king Cyrus the king of Persia hath commanded us. [4] Then the people of the
land weakened the hands of the people of Judah, and troubled them in building,
[5] And hired counsellers against them, to frustrate their purpose, all the
days of Cyrus king of Persia, even until the reign of Darius king of Persia.
[6] And in the reign of Ahasuerus, in the beginning of his reign, wrote they
unto him an accusation against the inhabitants of Judah and Jerusalem. [7] And
in the days of Artaxerxes wrote Bishlam, Mithredath, Tabeel, and the rest of
their companions, unto Artaxerxes king of Persia; and the writing of the letter
was written in the Syrian tongue, and interpreted in the Syrian tongue.
[8] Rehum the chancellor and Shimshai the scribe wrote a letter against
Jerusalem to Artaxerxes the king in this sort: [9] Then wrote Rehum the
chancellor, and Shimshai the scribe, and the rest of their companions; the
Dinaites, the Apharsathchites, the Tarpelites, the Apharsites, the Archevites,
the Babylonians, the Susanchites, the Dehavites, and the Elamites,
[10] And the rest of the nations whom the great and noble Asnappar brought
over, and set in the cities of Samaria, and the rest that are on this side the
river, and at such a time.
[11] This is the copy of the letter that they sent unto him, even unto
Artaxerxes the king; Thy servants the men on this side the river, and at such a
time.
[12] Be it known unto the king, that the Jews which came up from thee to us are
come unto Jerusalem, building the rebellious and the bad city, and have set up
the walls thereof, and joined the foundations. [13] Be it known now unto the
king, that, if this city be builded, and the walls set up again, then will they
not pay toll, tribute, and custom, and so thou shalt endamage the revenue of
the kings. [14] Now because we have maintenance from the king's palace, and it
was not meet for us to see the king's dishonour, therefore have we sent and
certified the king;
[15] That search may be made in the book of the records of thy fathers: so
shalt thou find in the book of the records, and know that this city is a
rebellious city, and hurtful unto kings and provinces, and that they have moved
sedition within the same of old time: for which cause was this city destroyed.
[16] We certify the king that, if this city be builded again, and the walls
thereof set up, by this means thou shalt have no portion on this side the
river.
[17] Then sent the king an answer unto Rehum the chancellor, and to Shimshai
the scribe, and to the rest of their companions that dwell in Samaria, and unto
the rest beyond the river, Peace, and at such a time. [18] The letter which ye
sent unto us hath been plainly read before me. [19] And I commanded, and search
hath been made, and it is found that this city of old time hath made
insurrection against kings, and that rebellion and sedition have been made
therein. [20] There have been mighty kings also over Jerusalem, which have
ruled over all countries beyond the river; and toll, tribute, and custom, was
paid unto them.
[21] Give ye now commandment to cause these men to cease, and that this city be
not builded, until another commandment shall be given from me. [22] Take heed
now that ye fail not to do this: why should damage grow to the hurt of the
kings?
[23] Now when the copy of king Artaxerxes' letter was read before Rehum, and
Shimshai the scribe, and their companions, they went up in haste to Jerusalem
unto the Jews, and made them to cease by force and power. [24] Then ceased the
work of the house of God which is at Jerusalem. So it ceased unto the second
year of the reign of Darius king of Persia.
