8Be it knownH3046 to the kingH4430 that we went into the provinceH4083 of JudahH3061, to the houseH1005 of the greatH7229 1GodH426, which is being builtH1124 with greatH7229 stonesH69, and timberH636 is laid in the walls, and this workH5673 is being carried on with diligence, and prospers in their handH3028.

9ThenH116 askedH7593 we those eldersH7868: thus we saidH560 to them, Who gave you orders to build this houseH1005 and to complete this wall?

10We askedH7593 their namesH8036 alsoH638, to inform thee, that we might write the namesH8036 of the menH1400 that were the chief of them.

11And thus they returnedH8421 us answer, sayingH560, We are the servantsH5649 of the 2GodH426 of the heavensH8065 and the earthH772, and build the houseH1005 that was builtH1124 these manyH7690 yearsH8140 ago; and a greatH7229 kingH4430 of IsraelH3479 builtH1124 and completed it.
