In the second year of Daryawesh the melech, in the
sixth month, on the first day of the month, came the word
of vuvh by Chaggai the navi to Zerubbavel the son of
Shealti-El, governor of Yahudah, and to Yahoshua the
son of Yehotsadak, the Kohen HaGadol, saying,
2 This says vuvh tzevaoth, This people says, The time has
not come, the time that vuvh’s Bayit should be rebuilt.
3 Then came the word of vuvh through Chaggai the navi,
saying,
4 Is it time for you, to dwell in your paneled houses, and
this Bayit lies in waste? 3239
1
5 Now therefore this says vuvh tzevaoth; Consider your
3240 3241
halachot.
6 You have sown much, and bring in little; you eat, but
you have not enough; you drink, but you are not filled
with drink; you clothe yourself, but there is none warm;
and he that earns wages earns wages to put it into a bag
with holes. 3242
7 This says vuvh tzevaoth; Consider your halachot. 3243
8 Go up to the mountain, and bring wood, and build the
Bayit; and I will take pleasure in it, and I will be
esteemed, says vuvh. 3244
9 You looked for much, and, see, it came to little; and
when you brought it home, I did blow upon it. Why? Says
vuvh tzevaoth. Because of My Bayit that is ruined, and
you run every man to his own bayit. 3245
10 Therefore the shamayim over you have withheld the
dew, and the earth has withheld her fruit.
11 And I called for a drought upon the land, and upon the
mountains, and upon the corn, and upon the new wine,
and upon the oil, and upon that which the ground brings
forth, and upon men, and upon cattle, and upon all the
labor of their hands.
12 Then Zerubbavel the son of Shealti-El, and Yahoshua
the son of Yehotsadak, the Kohen HaGadol, with all the
remnant of the people, 3246 obeyed the voice of vuvh their
Elohim, and the words of Chaggai the navi, as vuvh their
Elohim had sent him, and the people did fear before vuvh.
13 Then spoke Chaggai vuvh’s messenger, vuvh’s
message to all the people, saying, I am with you, says
vuvh.
14 And vuvh stirred up the ruach of Zerubbavel the son of
Shealti-El, governor of Yahudah, and the ruach of
Yahoshua the son of Yehotsadak, the Kohen HaGadol,
and the ruach of all the remnant of the people; and they
came and did work on the Bayit of vuvh tzevaoth, their
Elohim,
15 In the twenty-fourth day of the sixth month, in the
second year of Daryawesh the melech.
In the seventh month, on the twenty-first day of the
month, 3247 2
came the word of vuvh through the navi
Chaggai, saying,
2 Speak now to Zerubbavel the son of Shealti-El,
governor of Yahudah, and to Yahoshua the son of
Yehotsadak, the Kohen HaGadol and to the residue of the
people, saying,
3 Who is left among you that saw this Bayit in its former
tifereth? And how do you see it now? Is it not in your eyes

To Our Forefathers Yisrael

by comparison as nothing?
4 Yet now be strong, O Zerubbavel, says vuvh; and be
strong, O Yahoshua, son of Yehotsadak, the Kohen
HaGadol; and be strong, all you people of eretz Yisrael,
says vuvh, and work: for I am with you, says vuvh
tzevaoth:
5 According to the word that I covenanted with you when
you came out of Mitzrayim, so My Ruach remains among
you: fear not.
6 For this says vuvh tzevaoth; Yet once, it is a little while,
and I will shake the shamayim, and the earth, and the sea,
and the dry land;
7 And I will shake all nations, and the desire of all
nations shall come: and I will fill this Bayit with tifereth,
says vuvh tzevaoth.
8 The silver is Mine, and the gold is Mine, says vuvh
tzevaoth.
9 The tifereth of this latter Bayit shall be greater than of
the former, says vuvh tzevaoth: and in this place will I
give shalom, 3248 says vuvh tzevaoth. 3249
10 On the twenty-fourth day of the ninth month, in the
second year of Daryawesh, came the word of vuvh by
Chaggai the navi, saying,
11 This says vuvh tzevaoth; Now ask the Kohanim
concerning the Torah saying,
12 If one bears kadosh meat in the fold of his garment,
and with the edge he touches lechem, or pottage, or wine,
or oil, or any food, shall it be kadosh? And the Kohanim
answered and said, No.
13 Then said Chaggai, If one that is defiled by a dead
body touches any of these, shall it be defiled? And the
Kohanim answered and said, It shall be defiled.
14 Then answered Chaggai, and said, So is this people,
and so is this nation before Me, says vuvh; and so is every
work of their hands; and that which they offer there is
defiled.
15 And now, I ask you, consider from this day forward,
from before a stone was laid upon a stone in the Hekal of
vuvh.
16 Since those days were, when one came to a heap of
twenty measures, there were but ten: when one came to
the winepress to draw out fifty vessels out of the press,
there were but twenty.
17 I smote you with blight and with mildew and with hail
in all the labors of your hands; yet you made no teshuvah
to Me, says vuvh.
18 Consider now from this day and forward, from the
twenty fourth day of the ninth month, even from the day
that the foundation of vuvh’s Hekal was laid; consider it.
19 Is the zera yet in the storehouse? Yes, but the vine, and
the fig eytz, and the pomegranate, and the olive eytz, have
not brought forth fruit yet: from this day will I bless you.
20 And again the word of vuvh came to Chaggai in the
twenty-fourth day of the month, saying,
21 Speak to Zerubbavel, Governor of Yahudah, saying, I
will shake the shamayim and the earth;
22 And I will overthrow the kesay of malchutim, and I will
destroy the strength of the malchutim of the heathen; and
I will overthrow the mirkavot, and those that ride in them;
