Ezra 5:8-11

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 1beamsH636 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?’

10We alsoH638 askedH7593 them their namesH8036 so as to informH3046 you, inH1768 orderH1768 thatH1768 we might writeH3790 downH3790 the namesH8036 of the menH1400 whoH1768 were 2in chargeH7217.

11So they 3answeredH8421H6600 us asH3660 followsH3660, sayingH560, ‘We are the servantsH5649 of the GodH426 of heavenH8065 and earthH772, and are rebuildingH1124 the templeH1005 that was builtH1124 manyH7690 yearsH8140 agoH6928, 4which a greatH7229 kingH4430 of IsraelH3479 builtH1124 and finishedH3635.
