1Now the prophets, HaggaiH2292 the prophet, and ZechariahH2148 the sonH1247 of IddoH5714, prophesiedH5013 unto the JewsH3062 that were in JudahH3061 and JerusalemH3390; in the nameH8036 of the GodH426 of IsraelH3479 prophesiedH5013 they unto them.
2Then rose up ZerubbabelH2217 the sonH1247 of ShealtielH7598, and JeshuaH3443 the sonH1247 of Jozadak, and beganH8271 to build the houseH1005 of GodH426 whichH1768 is at JerusalemH3390; and with them were the prophetsH5029 of GodH426, helping them.
3At the same time cameH858 to them TattenaiH8674, the governorH6347 beyondH5675 the riverH5103, and Shethar-bonzenai, and their companions, and saidH560 thusH3652 to them, Who gaveH560 youH5922 a decreeH2942 to build this houseH1005, and to finishH3635 this wall?
4Then spake weH116 unto them after this manner, WhatH4479 are the namesH8036 of the menH1400 that make this buildingH1124?
