Yirmeyah 52:22-34 Orthodox Jewish Bible (OJB)

22. And a capital of nechoshet was upon it; and the height of one capital was five cubits, with network and pomegranates upon the capitals round about, all of nechoshet. The second pillar also and the pomegranates were similar unto these.

23. And there were ninety and six pomegranates on a side; and all the pomegranates upon the surrounding network were a me'ah (hundred).

24. And the captain of the guard took Serayah the Kohen HaRosh, and Tzephanyah the second kohen, and the three keepers of the door:

25. He took also out of the Ir the officer, which had the charge of the anshei hamilchamah; and seven men of them that were royal advisers which were found in the Ir; and the Sofer who was the chief officer in charge of conscripting the Am HaAretz; and threescore men of the Am HaAretz, that were found in the midst of the Ir.

26. So Nevuzaradan the captain of the guard took them, and brought them to Melech Bavel to Rivlah.

27. And Melech Bavel struck them, and put them to death in Rivlah in Eretz Chamat. Thus Yehudah was carried away captive out of his own land.

28. This is the people whom Nevuchadretzar carried away captive: in the seventh year 3,023 Yehudim:

29. In the eighteenth year of Nevuchadretzar he carried away captive from Yerushalayim 832 nefesh:

30. In the three and twentieth year of Nevuchadretzar Nevuzaradan the captain of the guard carried away captive of the Yehudim 745 nefesh: the nefesh were 4,600 in all.

31. And it came to pass in the seven and thirtieth year of the Golus of Y'hoyakhin Melech Yehudah, in the twelfth month, in the five and twentieth day of the month, that Eveel-Merodach Melech Bavel in the first year of his reign [562 B.C.E.] lifted up the head of Y'hoyakhin Melech Yehudah, and brought him forth out of prison [561 B.C.E.].

32. And spoke kindly unto him, and set his throne above the kisse of the melachim that were with him in Babylon,

33. And changed his prison garments: and he did continually eat lechem before him all the days of his life.

34. And for his allowance, there was a regular allowance given him of the Melech Bavel, every day a portion until the yom moto (day of his death) all the days of his life.
