*
Now therefore ,
Tatnai ,
governor beyond the river ,
Shetharboznai ,
and your companions the Apharsachites ,
which are beyond the river ,
be ye far from thence :
*
Let the work of this house of God alone ;
let the governor of the Jews and the elders of the Jews build this house of God in his place .
*
Moreover I make a decree what ye shall do to the elders of these Jews for the building of this house of God :
that of the king '
s goods ,
even of the tribute beyond the river ,
forthwith expenses be given unto these men ,
that they be not hindered .
*
And that which they have need of ,
both young bullocks ,
and rams ,
and lambs ,
for the burnt offerings of the God of heaven ,
wheat ,
salt ,
wine ,
and oil ,
according to the appointment of the priests which are at Jerusalem ,
let it be given them day by day without fail :
*
That they may offer sacrifices of sweet savours unto the God of heaven ,
and pray for the life of the king ,
and of his sons .
*
Also I have made a decree ,
that whosoever shall alter this word ,
let timber be pulled down from his house ,
and being set up ,
let him be hanged thereon ;
and let his house be made a dunghill for this .
*
And the God that hath caused his name to dwell there destroy all kings and people ,
that shall put to their hand to alter and to destroy this house of God which is at Jerusalem .
I Darius have made a decree ;
let it be done with speed .
