Ezra:5




strkjv@Ezra:5:1 @ Then the prophets, Haggai the prophet, and Zechariah the son of Iddo, prophesied n@ unto the Jews that were in Judah and Jerusalem Y@ruwshalem (Chald) in the name of the God of Israel, even unto them.

strkjv@Ezra:5:2 @ Then rose up Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel Sh@, and Jeshua the son of Jozadak, and began sh@ to build b@ the house of God which is at Jerusalem Y@ruwshalem (Chald): and with them were the prophets of God helping them.

strkjv@Ezra:5:3 @ At the same time came to them Tatnai, governor on this side the river, and Shetharboznai Sh@thar, and their companions, and said thus unto them, Who hath commanded you to build b@ this house, and to make up k@ this wall?

strkjv@Ezra:5:4 @ Then said we unto them after this manner, What are the names of the men that make b@ this building?

strkjv@Ezra:5:5 @ But the eye of their God was upon the elders of the Jews Y@, that they could not cause them to cease b@, till the matter came to Darius: and then they returned answer by letter concerning this matter.

strkjv@Ezra:5:6 @ The copy of the letter that Tatnai, governor on this side the river, and Shetharboznai Sh@thar, and his companions the Apharsachites Apharc@, which were on this side the river, sent sh@ unto Darius the king:

strkjv@Ezra:5:7 @ They sent sh@ a letter unto him, wherein was written k@ thus; Unto Darius the king, all peace.

strkjv@Ezra:5:8 @ Be it known y@ unto the king, that we went into the province of Judea, to the house of the great God, which is builded b@ with great stones, and timber is laid in the walls, and this work goeth fast on, and prospereth ts@ in their hands.

strkjv@Ezra:5:9 @ Then asked we those elders, and said unto them thus, Who commanded you to build b@ this house, and to make up k@ these walls?

strkjv@Ezra:5:10 @ We asked their names also, to certify y@ thee, that we might write k@ the names of the men that were the chief of them.

strkjv@Ezra:5:11 @ And thus they returned us answer, saying, We are the servants of the God of heaven and earth, and build b@ the house that was builded b@ these many years ago, which a great king of Israel builded b@ and set up k@.

strkjv@Ezra:5:12 @ But after that our fathers had provoked the God of heaven unto wrath r@, he gave y@ them into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, the Chaldean, who destroyed c@ this house, and carried the people away g@ into Babylon.

strkjv@Ezra:5:13 @ But in the first year of Cyrus the king of Babylon the same king Cyrus made a decree to build b@ this house of God.

strkjv@Ezra:5:14 @ And the vessels also of gold and silver of the house of God, which 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 temple of Babylon, and they were delivered y@ unto one, whose name was Sheshbazzar, whom he had made governor;

strkjv@Ezra:5:15 @ And said unto him, Take n@ these vessels, go, carry n@ them into the temple that is in Jerusalem Y@ruwshalem (Chald), and let the house of God be builded b@ in his place.

strkjv@Ezra:5:16 @ Then came the same Sheshbazzar, and laid y@ the foundation of the house of God which is in Jerusalem Y@ruwshalem (Chald): and since that time even until now hath it been in building b@, and yet it is not finished sh@.

strkjv@Ezra:5:17 @ Now therefore, if it seem good to the king, let there be search b@ made in the kings treasure house, which is there at Babylon, whether it be so, that a decree was made of Cyrus the king to build b@ this house of God at Jerusalem Y@ruwshalem (Chald), and let the king send sh@ his pleasure to us concerning this matter.
