1 ! Cyrus sendeth again the people that was in captiuitie.
1 c That is, moued him and gaue him heart.
2 d For he was chief Monarche, and had manie nacions vnder his dominion, which this heathen King confesseth to haue receiued of the liuing God.
4 e If any through pouertie were not able to returne, the Kings comission was that he shulde be furnished with necessaries.
4 f Which they them selues shulde send toward the reparation of the Temple.
6 g The Babylonians & Chaldeans gaue them these presents: thus rather then the children of God shulde want for the necessities, he wolde stirre vp the heart of the very infideles to helpe them.
8 h So the Chaldeans called Zerubbabel, who was the chief gouernour, so that the preeminence stil remained in the house of Dauid.
8 ! And restoreth them their holy vessels.
