Ezra 5:8-11
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?”
10We alsoH638 asked forH7593 their namesH8036, so thatH1768 we could write downH3790 the namesH8036 of their leadersH1400H1768H72171 for your informationH3046.
11And thisH3660 is the answerH6600 they returnedH8421H560:
“WeH586 areH1994 servantsH5649 of the GodH426 of heavenH8065 and earthH772, and we are rebuildingH1124 the templeH1005 thatH1768 wasH1934 builtH1124 manyH7690 yearsH8140 agoH6928H1836, which a greatH7229 kingH4430 of IsraelH3479 builtH1124 and completedH3635.
