Ezra 6:6-13
6NowH3705 therefore, TattenaiH8674, governorH6347 beyondH5675 the riverH5103, Shethar-bozenaiH8370, and your companions the Apharsachites, whichH1768 are beyondH5675 the riverH5103, be ye farH7352 from thence:
7let the workH5673 of this houseH1005 of GodH426 aloneH7662; let the governorH6347 of the JewsH3062 and the eldersH7868 of the JewsH3062 build this houseH1005 of GodH426 in its placeH870.
8Moreover I makeH5648 a decreeH2942 whatH1768 ye shall doH5648 to theseH479 eldersH7868 of the JewsH3062 for the buildingH1124 of this houseH1005 of GodH426: that of the king’sH4430 goodsH5232, evenH1768 of the tributeH4061 beyondH5675 the riverH5103, expenses be givenH3052 with allH629 diligenceH629 unto theseH479 menH1400, that they be notH3809 hindered.
9And that whichH1768 they have needH2818 of, both youngH1123 bullocks, and ramsH1798, and lambsH563, for burntH5928 offerings to the GodH426 of heavenH8065, wheat, saltH4416, wineH2562, and oilH4887, according to the word of the priestsH3549 whichH1768 are at JerusalemH3390, let it be givenH3052 them dayH3118 by dayH3118 withoutH3809 failH7960:
10that they may offerH7127 sacrificesH5208 of sweet savour unto the GodH426 of heavenH8065, and prayH6739 for the lifeH2417 of the kingH4430, and of his sonsH1123.
11Also I have madeH5648 a decreeH2942, that whosoever shall alter this word, let a beam be pulled outH5648 from his houseH1005, and let him be lifted up and fastened thereon; and let his houseH1005 be madeH5648 a dunghill for this:
12and the GodH426 that hath caused his nameH8036 to dwellH7932 there overthrowH4049 allH3606 kingsH4430 and peoplesH5972, that shall put forth their handH3028 to alter the same, to destroyH2255 this houseH1005 of GodH426 whichH1768 is at JerusalemH3390. I DariusH1868 have madeH5648 a decreeH2942; let it be doneH5648 with allH3606 diligenceH629.
13Then TattenaiH8674, the governorH6347 beyondH5675 the riverH5103; Shethar-bozenaiH8370, and their companions, becauseH6903 that DariusH1868 the kingH4430 had sentH7972, did accordinglyH3660 with allH629 diligenceH629.
