5But 1the eyeH5870 of their GodH426 was on the eldersH7868 of the JewsH3062, and they did not stopH989 them untilH5705 the reportH2942 could reachH1981 DariusH1868, and thenH116 the decreeH5407 concerningH5922 it could be sentH8421 backH8421.

6This is the copyH6573 of the letterH104 that 2TattenaiH8674, the governorH6347 of the province beyondH5675 the Euphrates RiverH5103, and Shethar-bozenaiH8370 and his colleaguesH3675 3the officialsH671, whoH1768 were beyondH5675 the RiverH5103, sentH7972 to DariusH1868 the kingH4430. 7They sentH7972 the reportH6600 to him in which it was writtenH3790 as followsH1836: “To DariusH1868 the kingH4430, allH3606 peaceH8001. 8May it beH3046 knownH3046 to the kingH4430 that we have goneH236 to the provinceH4083 of JudahH3061, to the houseH1005 of the greatH7229 GodH426 whichH1932 is being builtH1124 with largeH1560 stonesH69, and 4beamsH636 are being laidH7761 in the wallsH3797; and thisH1791 workH5673 is being performedH5648 with greatH629 careH629 and is succeedingH6744 in their handsH3028. 9ThenH116 we askedH7593 thoseH479 eldersH7868 and saidH560 to them as followsH3660: ‘WhoH4479 issuedH7761 you a decreeH2942 to rebuildH1124 thisH1836 templeH1005 and to finishH3635 thisH1836 structureH846?’
