Ezra 6:6-8

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

⁶ Now therefore, Tattenai, governor of the province [west of] the River, Shethar-bozenai, and your associates, the Apharsachites who are [west of] the River, keep far away from there.

⁷ Leave the work on this house of God alone; let the governor and the elders of the Jews build this house of God on its site.

⁸ Moreover, I make a decree as to what you shall do for these elders of the Jews for the rebuilding of this house of God: the cost is to be paid in full to these men at once from the king’s revenue, the tribute of the province [west of] the River, that they may not be hindered.
