Ezra 5:8-10

Jubilee Bible 2000

⁸ Be it known unto the king that we went into the province of Judea, to the house of the great God, which is being built with stones of marble, and the timbers are laid in the walls, and this work is going fast and prospers in their hands.

⁹ Then we asked the elders and said unto them thus, Who commanded you to build this house and to found these walls?

¹⁰ We asked their names also, to notify thee, that we might write the names of the men that were at the head of them.
