Ezra 4:12 let it be known3046 to the king4430 that the Jews3062 who1768 came5559b up from you have come858 to us at Jerusalem3390; they are rebuilding1124 the rebellious4779a and evil873 city7149 and are finishing3635 the walls7792 and repairing2338 the foundations787.
Ezra 4:13 "Now3705 let it be known3046 to the king4430, that if2006 that city7149 is rebuilt1124 and the walls7792 are finished3635, they will not pay5415 tribute4061, custom1093 or toll1983, and it will damage5142 the revenue674 of the kings4430.
Ezra 4:16 "We inform3046 the king4430 that if2006 that city7149 is rebuilt1124 and the walls7792 finished3635, as a result6903 you will have383 no3809 possession2508 in the province beyond5675 the River5103."
Ezra 4:21 "So, now3705 issue7761 a decree2942 to make these479 men1400 stop989work, that this1791 city7149 may not be rebuilt1124 until5704 a decree2942 is issued7761 by me.
Ezra 5:2 then116 Zerubbabel2217 the son1247 of Shealtiel7598 and Jeshua3443 the son1247 of Jozadak3136b arose6966 and began8271 to rebuild1124 the house1005 of God426 which1768 is in Jerusalem3390; and the prophets5029 of God426 were with them supporting5583 them.
Ezra 5:3 ¶ At that time2166 Tattenai8674, the governor6347 of the province beyond5675 the River5103, and Shethar-bozenai8370 and their colleagues3675 came858 to them and spoke560 to them thus3652, "Who4479 issued7761 you a decree2942 to rebuild1124 this1836 temple1005 and to finish3635 this1836 structure846?"
Ezra 5:4 Then116 we told560 them accordingly3660 what4479 the names8036 of the men1400 were who1768 were reconstructing1124 this1836 building1147.
Ezra 5:8 "Let it be known3046 to the king4430 that we have gone236 to the province4083 of Judah3061, to the house1005 of the great7229 God426, which1932 is being built1124 with huge1560 stones69, and beams636 are being laid7761 in the walls3797; and this1791 work5673 is going5648 on with great629 care629 and is succeeding6744 in their hands3028.
Ezra 5:9 "Then116 we asked7593 those479 elders7868 and said560 to them thus3660, 'Who4479 issued7761 you a decree2942 to rebuild1124 this1836 temple1005 and to finish3635 this1836 structure846?'
Ezra 5:11 "Thus3660 they answered8421,6600 us, saying560, 'We are the servants5649 of the God426 of heaven8065 and earth772 and are rebuilding1124 the temple1005 that was built1124 many7690 years8140 ago6928, which a great7229 king4430 of Israel3479 built1124 and finished3635.
Ezra 5:13 'However1297, in the first2298 year8140 of Cyrus3567 king4430 of Babylon895, King4430 Cyrus3567 issued7761 a decree2942 to rebuild1124 this1836 house1005 of God426.
Ezra 5:15 'He said560 to him, "Take5376 these429 utensils3984, go236and deposit5182 them in the temple1965 in Jerusalem3390 and let the house1005 of God426 be rebuilt1124 in its place870."
Ezra 5:16 'Then116 that Sheshbazzar8340 came858and laid3052 the foundations787 of the house1005 of God426 in Jerusalem3390; and from then116 until5705 now3705 it has been under1124 construction1124 and it is not yet completed8000.'
Ezra 5:17 "Now3705 if2006 it pleases2869 the king4430, let a search1240 be conducted1240 in the king's4430 treasure1596 house1005, which1768 is there8536 in Babylon895, if2006 it be that a decree2942 was issued7761 by King4430 Cyrus3567 to rebuild1124 this1791 house1005 of God426 at Jerusalem3390; and let the king4430 send7972 to us his decision7466b concerning5922 this1836matter."
Ezra 6:3 "In the first2298 year8140 of King4430 Cyrus3567, Cyrus3567 the king4430 issued7761 a decree2942: 'Concerning the house1005 of God426 at Jerusalem3390, let the temple1005, the place870 where1768 sacrifices1685 are offered1684, be rebuilt1124 and let its foundations787 be retained5446, its height7314 being 608361 cubits521 and its width6613 608361 cubits521;
Ezra 6:7 "Leave7662 this1791 work5673 on the house1005 of God426 alone7662; let the governor6347 of the Jews3062 and the elders7868 of the Jews3062 rebuild1124 this1791 house1005 of God426 on its site870.
Ezra 6:8 "Moreover, I issue7761 a decree2942 concerning what4101,1768 you are to do5648 for these479 elders7868 of Judah3062 in the rebuilding1124 of this1791 house1005 of God426: the full629 cost5313 is to be paid3052 to these479 people1400 from the royal4430 treasury5232 out of the taxes4061 of the provinces beyond5675 the River5103, and that without3809 delay989.
Ezra 6:14 And the elders7868 of the Jews3062 were successful6744 in building1124 through the prophesying5017 of Haggai2292b the prophet5029 and Zechariah2148b the son1247 of Iddo5714. And they finished3635 building1124 according4481 to the command2942 of the God426 of Israel3479 and the decree2942 of Cyrus3567, Darius1868, and Artaxerxes783b king4430 of Persia6540.
Dan 4:30 "The king4430 reflected6032 and said560, 'Is this1668 not Babylon895 the great7229, which1768 I myself576 have built1124 as a royal4437 residence1005 by the might8632a of my power2632 and for the glory3367 of my majesty1923?'
