Ezra 5:16

Temple Restoration Resumed

¹⁵ and said to him - These utensils, take, go carry them into the temple that is in Jerusalem, - and let, the house of God, be built in its place. ¹⁶ Then, this Sheshbazzar, came, he laid the foundations of the house of God, which was in Jerusalem, - and, since then, even until now, it hath been in building, and is not finished. ¹⁷ Now, therefore, if, unto the king, it seem good, let search be made in the treasure-house of the king which is there, in Babylon, whether it be so, that, from Cyrus the king, issued an edict, to build this house of God, in Jerusalem, - and, the pleasure of the king concerning this, let him send unto us.
