Ezra 5:3-5

Evangelical Heritage Version

³ At that time, Tattenai governor of Trans-Euphrates, together with Shethar Bozenai and their associates, came up to them and said this to them: “Who gave you an order to construct this building and to finish this project?” ⁴ They^[a] also said this to them: “What are the names of the men who are building this building?”

⁵ However, the eye of their God was on the Judean elders, and the officials did not make them stop until the report could go to Darius, and they could respond on the basis of a document concerning this matter.
