unto

Who

What

strkjv@Ezra:5:5
@ But the
eye

was
upon
the
elders

Y@, that they could
not
cause

all

strkjv@Ezra:5:8
@ Be it
known
y@ unto the

strkjv@Ezra:5:9
@
Then
asked
we
those

said
unto them
thus
,
Who
commanded
you to
build
b@
this
house

up
k@

strkjv@Ezra:5:10
@ We
asked

strkjv@Ezra:5:11
@ And
thus
they
returned

answer

saying
,
We
are
the
servants
of the
God

build
b@ the
house
that
was
builded
b@
these
many

builded
b@ and set

k@.
strkjv@Ezra:5:12
@
But
after
that our
fathers
had
provoked
the
God

unto
wrath
r@, he
gave
y@
them
into the
hand
of
Nebuchadnezzar
the
king

Chaldean

destroyed
c@
this

carried

strkjv@Ezra:5:13
@
But
in the

Cyrus
the

the same
king
Cyrus
made
a
decree
to
build
b@
this
house

strkjv@Ezra:5:14
@ And the
vessels
also
of
gold

silver
of the
house

Nebuchadnezzar
took
n@ out
of
the
temple
that was in
Jerusalem
Y@ruwshalem (Chald), and
brought
y@ them into the
temple
of
Babylon
,
those
did
Cyrus
the
king
take
n@ out
of
the

Babylon

delivered
y@ unto one, whose
name
was
Sheshbazzar

made
governor
;
strkjv@Ezra:5:15
@ And
said
unto him,
Take

these

go

carry
n@
them
into the
temple

Y@ruwshalem (Chald), and let the
house

God
be
builded
b@
in

strkjv@Ezra:5:16
@
Then
came
the

Sheshbazzar

laid
y@ the
foundation
of the
house
of

Y@ruwshalem (Chald): and
since

strkjv@Ezra:5:17
@
Now

whether
it
be
so, that a
