⁶ “Now therefore, ^(A)Tattenai, governor of the province Beyond the River, Shethar-bozenai, ^(B)and your associates the governors who are in the province Beyond the River, keep away. ⁷ Leave the work on this house of God alone. Let the governor of the Jews and the elders of the Jews rebuild this house of God on its site. ⁸ Moreover, ^(C)I make a decree regarding what you shall do for these elders of the Jews for the rebuilding of this house of God. The cost is to be paid to these men in full and without delay from the royal revenue, the tribute of the province from Beyond the River.
