Ezra 5:9-17

Then
<0116>
asked
<07593> (8754)
we those
<0479>
elders
<07868> (8750)_,
[and] said
<0560> (8754)
unto them thus
<03660>_,
Who
<04479>
commanded
<07761> (8754) <02942>
you to build
<01124> (8749)
this
<01836>
house
<01005>_,
and to make up
<03635> (8805)
these
<01836>
walls
<0846>_?
We asked
<07593> (8754)
their names
<08036>
also
<0638>_,
to certify
<03046> (8682)
thee, that we might write
<03790> (8748)
the names
<08036>
of the men
<01400>
that [were] the chief
<07217>
of them.
And thus
<03660>
they returned
<08421> (8684)
us answer
<06600>_,
saying
<0560> (8749)_,
We
<0586>
are
<01994>
the servants
<05649>
of the God
<0426>
of heaven
<08065>
and earth
<0772>_,
and build
<01124> (8750)
the house
<01005>
that was
<01934> (8754)
builded
<01124> (8752)
these
<01836>
many
<07690>
years
<08140>
ago
<06928>_,
which a great
<07229>
king
<04430>
of Israel
<03479>
builded
<01124> (8754)
and set up
<03635> (8806)_.
But
<03861>
after
<04481>
that our fathers
<02>
had provoked
<07265> (0)
the God
<0426>
of heaven
<08065>
unto wrath
<07265> (8684)_,
he gave
<03052> (8754)
them
<01994>
into the hand
<03028>
of Nebuchadnezzar
<05020>
the king
<04430>
of Babylon
<0895>_,
the Chaldean
<03679>_,
who destroyed
<05642> (8754)
this
<01836>
house
<01005>_,
and carried
<01541> (0)
the people
<05972>
away
<01541> (8684)
into Babylon
<0895>_.
But
<01297>
in the first
<02298>
year
<08140>
of Cyrus
<03567>
the king
<04430>
of Babylon
<0895>
[the same] king
<04430>
Cyrus
<03567>
made
<07761> (8754)
a decree
<02942>
to build
<01124> (8749)
this
<01836>
house
<01005>
of God
<0426>_.
And the vessels
<03984>
also
<0638>
of
<01768>
gold
<01722>
and silver
<03702>
of the house
<01005>
of God
<0426>_,
which Nebuchadnezzar
<05020>
took
<05312> (8684)
out of
<04481>
the temple
<01965>
that [was] in Jerusalem
<03390>_,
and brought
<02987> (8684)
them into the temple
<01965>
of Babylon
<0895>_,
those
<01994>
did Cyrus
<03567>
the king
<04430>
take
<05312> (8684)
out of
<04481>
the temple
<01965>
of Babylon
<0895>_,
and they were delivered
<03052> (8753)
unto [one], whose name
<08036>
[was] Sheshbazzar
<08340>_,
whom he had made
<07761> (8754)
governor
<06347>_;
{governor: or, deputy}
And said
<0560> (8754)
unto him, Take
<05376> (8747)
these
<0412>
vessels
<03984>_,
go
<0236> (8747)_,
carry
<05182> (8680)
them
<01994>
into the temple
<01965>
that [is] in Jerusalem
<03390>_,
and let the house
<01005>
of God
<0426>
be builded
<01124> (8731)
in
<05922>
his place
<0870>_.
Then
<0116>
came
<0858> (8754)
the same
<01791>
Sheshbazzar
<08340>_,
[and] laid
<03052> (8754)
the foundation
<0787>
of the house
<01005>
of God
<0426>
which [is] in Jerusalem
<03390>_:
and since
<04481>
that time
<0116>
even until
<05705>
now
<03705>
hath it been in building
<01124> (8732)_,
and [yet] it is not
<03809>
finished
<08000> (8752)_.
Now
<03705>
therefore, if
<02006>
[it seem] good
<02869>
to
<05922>
the king
<04430>_,
let there be search
<01240> (8721)
made in the king's
<04430>
treasure
<01596>
house
<01005>_,
which [is] there
<08536>
at Babylon
<0895>_,
whether
<02006>
it be
<0383>
[so], that a decree
<02942>
was made
<07761> (8752)
of
<04481>
Cyrus
<03567>
the king
<04430>
to build
<01124> (8749)
this
<01791>
house
<01005>
of God
<0426>
at Jerusalem
<03390>_,
and let the king
<04430>
send
<07972> (8748)
his pleasure
<07470>
to us concerning
<05922>
this matter
<01836>_.
