ylt Ezra:4:1-5
ylt@Ezra:4:1 @And adversaries of Judah and Benjamin hear that the sons of the captivity are building a temple to Jehovah, God of Israel,
ylt@Ezra:4:2 @and they draw nigh unto Zerubbabel, and unto heads of the fathers, and say to them, 'Let us build with you; for, like you, we seek to your God, and we are not sacrificing since the days of Esar-Haddon king of Asshur, who brought us up hither.'
ylt@Ezra:4:3 @And Zerubbabel saith to them, also Jeshua, and the rest of the heads of the fathers of Israel, 'Not for you, and for us, to build a house to our God; but we ourselves together do build to Jehovah God of Israel, as the king Cyrus, king of Persia, commanded us.'
ylt@Ezra:4:4 @And it cometh to pass, the people of the land are making the hands of the people of Judah feeble, and troubling them in building,
ylt@Ezra:4:5 @and are hiring against them counsellors to make void their counsel all the days of Cyrus king of Persia, even till the reign of Darius king of Persia.
