Ezra 6:6-8

6“Now therefore, 1Tattenai, governor of the province beyond the 2River, Shethar-bozenai and 3your colleagues, the officials of the provinces beyond the 4River, 5keep away from there.

7Leave this work on the house of God alone; let the governor of the Jews and the elders of the Jews rebuild this house of God on its site.

8Moreover, 6I issue a decree concerning what you are to do for these elders of Judah in the rebuilding of this house of God: the full cost is to be paid to these people from the royal treasury out of the taxes of the provinces beyond the River, and that without delay.
