Ezra 5:5-9

5But the eyeH5870 of their GodH426 wasH1934 onH5922 the eldersH7868 of the JewsH3062, so that they were notH3809 stoppedH989 untilH5705 a reportH2941 was sentH1946 to DariusH1868 andH116 written instructionsH5407 aboutH5922 this matterH1836 were returnedH8421.

6This is the textH6573 of the letterH104 thatH1768 TattenaiH8674 the governorH6347 of the region westH5675 of the EuphratesH5103, Shethar-bozenaiH8370, and their associatesH3675, the officialsH671H1768 in the regionH5675H5103, sentH7972 toH5922 KingH4430 DariusH1868. 7The reportH6600 they sentH7972 himH5922 read as followsH3790H1459H1836:

To KingH4430 DariusH1868:

AllH3606 peaceH8001.

8Let it beH1934 knownH3046 to the kingH4430 thatH1768 we wentH236 into the provinceH4083 of JudahH3061, to the houseH1005 of the greatH7229 GodH426. The people are rebuilding itH1124 with large stonesH69H1560 and placingH7761 timbersH636 in the wallsH3797. ThisH1791 workH5673 is being carried outH5648 diligentlyH629 and is prosperingH6744 in their handsH3028.

9SoH116 we questionedH7593 theH479H3660 eldersH7868 and askedH560, “WhoH4479 authorizedH7761H2942 you to rebuildH1124 thisH1836 templeH1005 and restoreH3635 thisH1836 structureH846?”
