Ezra 5:5-9
5But the eye of their GodH426 was upon the eldersH7868 of the JewsH3062, and they did notH3809 make them ceaseH989, till the matter should come to DariusH1868, and then answer should be returnedH8421 by letter concerning it.
6The copyH6573 of the letterH104 that TattenaiH8674, the governorH6347 beyondH5675 the riverH5103, and Shethar-bozenaiH8370, and his companions the Apharsachites, whichH1768 were beyondH5675 the riverH5103, sentH7972 unto DariusH1868 the kingH4430:
7they sentH7972 a letter unto him, wherein was writtenH3790 thusH1836; Unto DariusH1868 the kingH4430, allH3606 peaceH8001.
8Be it knownH3046 unto the kingH4430, that weH1768 wentH236 into the provinceH4083 of JudahH3061, to the houseH1005 of the greatH7229 GodH426, whichH1768 is builded with greatH7229 stonesH69, and timberH636 is laidH7761 in the wallsH3797, and this workH5673 goeth on with diligenceH629 and prospereth in their handsH3028.
9Then askedH7593 weH116 thoseH479 eldersH7868, and saidH560 unto them thusH1836, Who gaveH560 you a decreeH2942 to build this houseH1005, and to finishH3635 this wall?
