1 the son of Memeroth, the son of Zaraias, the son of Savias, the son of Boccas, the son of Abisue, the son of Phinees, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the chief priest.
3This Esdras went up from Babylon, as being a ready scribe in the law of Moses, that was given by for his sake.
7For Esdras had very great skill, so that he omitted nothing of the law and commandments of the Lord, but taught all Israel the ordinances and judgements.
8Now the commission, which was written from Artaxerxes the king, came to Esdras the priest and and of those within our realm, as are willing and desirous, should go with thee unto Jerusalem.
11As many therefore as have a mind thereunto, let them depart with thee, as it hath seemed good both to me and measures, and a hundred salt in abundance.
21Let all things be performed after the law of God diligently unto the imprisonment.
25Then said Esdras the scribe, Blessed be the only Lord, the God of my fathers, who hath put these things into the heart of the king, to glorify his house that is in Jerusalem:
26And hath honoured me in the sight of the king, and his counsellors, and all his friends and nobles.
27Therefore was I encouraged by the help of the Lord my God, and gathered together out of Israel men to go up with me.
28Attus the son of Sechenias:
30Of the sons of Phoros, Zacharias; and with him were counted a hundred and fifty men:
31Of the sons of Phaath Moab, Eliaonias the son of Zaraias, and with him two hundred men:
32Of the sons of Zathoes, Sechenias the son of Jezelus, and with him three hundred men: of the sons of Adin, Obeth the son of Jonathan, and with him two hundred and fifty men:
33Of the sons of Elam, Jesias son of Gotholias, and with him seventy men:
34Of the sons of Saphatias, Zaraias son of Michael, and with him threescore and ten men:
35Of the sons of Joab, Abadias son of Jezelus, and with him two hundred and twelve men:
36Of the sons of Banias, Salimoth son of Josaphias, and with him a hundred and threescore men:
37Of the sons of Babi, Zacharias son of Bebai, and with him twenty and eight men:
38Of the sons of Astath, Joannes son of Akatan, and with him a hundred and ten men:
39Of the sons of Adonikam, the last, and these are the names of them, Eliphalat, Jeuel, and Samaias, and with them seventy men:
40Of the sons of Bago, Uthi the son of Istalcurus, and with him seventy men.
41And I gathered them together to the river called Iduel, and Maasmas,
44And Elnathan, and Samaias, and Joribus, Nathan, Ennatan, Zacharias, and Mosollamus, principal men and men of understanding.
45And I bade them that they should go unto Loddeus the captain, who was in the place of the treasury:
46And commanded them that they should speak unto Loddeus, and to his brethren, and to the treasurers in that place, to send us such men as might execute the priests' office in the house of our Lord.
47And by the mighty hand of our Lord they brought unto us men of understanding of the sons of Mooli the son of Levi, the son of Israel, Asebebias, and his sons, and his brethren, who were eighteen,
48And Asebias, and Annuus, and Osaias his brother, of the sons of Chanuneus, and their sons were twenty men;
49And of Eserebias, and Assamias, and ten men of their brethren with them:
55And I and the vessels are holy, and the gold and the silver are a vow unto the Lord, the Lord of our fathers.
59Watch ye, and keep them till ye deliver them to the chiefs of the priests and Levites, and to the principal men of the families of Israel, in Jerusalem, in the chambers of the house of our Lord.
60So the priests and the Levites, who received the silver and the gold and the vessels which were in Jerusalem, brought them into the temple of the Lord.
61And from the river Marmoth the priest the son of Urias.
63And with him was Eleazar the son of Phinees, and with them were Josabdus the son of Jesus and Moeth the son of Sabannus, the Levites: all was delivered them by number and weight.
64And all the weight of them was written up the same hour.
65Moreover they that were come out of the captivity offered sacrifices unto the Lord, nor the uncleannesses of the Gentiles, to wit, of the Canaanites, Hittites, Pherezites, Jebusites, and the Moabites, Egyptians, and Thou wast not angry with us to destroy us, till thou aloft.
93Let us make an oath unto the Lord herein, that we will put away all our wives, which we have taken of the strangers, with their children,
94Like as seemeth good unto thee, and to as many as do obey the law of the Lord.
95Arise, and put in execution: for to thee doth this matter appertain, and we will be with thee to do valiantly.
96So Esdras arose, and took an oath of the chief of the priests and Levites of all Israel to do after these things; and so they sware.
