Ezra 6:6-8

Revised Geneva Translation

⁶ “Therefore Tattenai, captain beyond the river, and Shethar-Boznai, (and their companions, Apharsecai, who are beyond the River) stay far from there.

⁷ “Allow the work of this House of God, so that the captain of the Jews and the elders of the Jews may build this House of God in its place.

⁸ “For I have given a commandment as to what you shall do for the elders of these Jews for the building of this House of God: that the revenue of the king which is from the tribute beyond the River shall immediately be given for these men’s expenses, so that they do not cease.
