Ezra 5:8
With great stones - They are making a very strong and a very costly building.
6 This is a copy of the letter that Tattenai sent:
The governor of the region beyond the River, and Shethar-Boznai, aand his companions, the Persians who were in the region beyond the River, to Darius the king.
The governor of the region beyond the River, and Shethar-Boznai, aand his companions, the Persians who were in the region beyond the River, to Darius the king.
8 Let it be known to the king that we went into the province of Judea, to the1 temple of the great God, which is being built with2 heavy stones, and timber is being laid in the walls; and this work goes on diligently and prospers in their hands.
9 Then we asked those elders, and spoke thus to them: a“Who commanded you to build this temple and to finish these walls?”
10 We also asked them their names to inform you, that we might write the names of the men who were chief among them.
