3 ¿Quién hay entre vosotros de todo su pueblo? Sea Dios con él, y suba á Jerusalem que está en Judá, y edifique la casa á Jehová Dios de Israel, (él es el Dios,) la cual está en Jerusalem.

4 Y á cualquiera que hubiere quedado de todos los lugares donde peregrinare, los hombres de su lugar le ayuden con plata, y oro, y hacienda, y con bestias; con dones voluntarios para la casa de Dios, la cual está en Jerusalem.

5 Entonces se levantaron los cabezas de las familias de Judá y de Benjamín, y los sacerdotes y Levitas, todos aquellos cuyo espíritu despertó Dios para subir á edificar la casa de Jehová, la cual está en Jerusalem.

6 Y todos los que estaban en sus alrededores confortaron las manos de ellos con vasos de plata y de oro, con hacienda y bestias, y con cosas preciosas, á más de lo que se ofreció voluntariamente.

7 Y el rey Ciro sacó los vasos de la casa de Jehová, que Nabucodonosor había traspasado de Jerusalem, y puesto en la casa de sus dioses.
