This OET Readers’ Version was designed to be used with the Literal Version alongside, so you won’t get the best understanding from this single viewpoint. This is still an early look into the drafted text of the Open English Translation of the Bible. Please double-check the text in advance before using in public.
1 In the eighth month of the second year of the reign of Persian King Dareyavesh (Darius), Yahweh spoke through the prophet Zekaryah (Zechariah, son of Iddo’s son Berekyah) saying,[ref] 2 “Yahweh was very angry with your ancestors, 3 so tell this to the people: Commander-in-chief Yahweh says that if you all turn back to me, I’ll return to you. 4 Don’t be like your ancestors who’d been told by the prophets that Commander-in-chief Yahweh wanted them to abandon all their evil practices, but they wouldn’t listen or pay attention. That is Yahweh’s declaration.
5 “So where are you ancestors and the prophets now? Do they live forever? 6 But your ancestors didn’t obey my words and my decrees that I commanded through my servants the prophets, but they eventually repented and said, ‘Commander-in-chief Yahweh has done to us just what our ways and actions deserved.’ ”
Ezr 4:24–5:1:
24 So there was a period when the rebuilding of the temple in Yerushalem stopped, and it remained paused until the second year of King Dareyavesh’s reign in Persia.[ref]
5 Then the prophet Haggai and Iddo’s son Zekaryah prophesied to the Jews in Yerushalem and across Yehudah in the name of Yisrael’s god who they served.[ref]
6:14:
14 So the Jewish elders continued building, and they were encouraged by the prophesying of the prophet Haggai and Iddo’s son Zekaryah. As a result of the decrees of the Persian kings Koresh, and Dareyavesh and Artahshasta, they were able to fulfil God’s decree to rebuild the temple.[ref]
