◄ H3046 ►

Be it H3046 unto the king, that the Jews which came up from thee to us are come unto Jerusalem, building the rebellious and the bad city, and have set up the walls thereof, and joined the foundations.

Be it H3046 now unto the king, that, if this city be builded, and the walls set up again, then will they not pay toll, tribute, and custom, and so thou shalt endamage the revenue of the kings.

Now because we have maintenance from the king's palace, and it was not meet for us to see the king's dishonour, therefore have we sent and certified the king;

That search may be made in the book of the records of thy fathers: so shalt thou find in the book of the records, and H3046 that this city is a rebellious city, and hurtful unto kings and provinces, and that they have moved sedition within the same of old time: for which cause was this city destroyed.

We H3046 the king that, if this city be builded again, and the walls thereof set up, by this means thou shalt have no portion on this side the river.

Be it H3046 unto the king, that we went into the province of Judea, to the house of the great God, which is builded with great stones, and timber is laid in the walls, and this work goeth fast on, and prospereth in their hands.

We asked their names also, to H3046 thee, that we might write the names of the men that were the chief of them.

Also we H3046 you, that touching any of the priests and Levites, singers, porters, Nethinims, or ministers of this house of God, it shall not be lawful to impose toll, tribute, or custom, upon them.

And thou, Ezra, after the wisdom of thy God, that is in thine hand, set magistrates and judges, which may judge all the people that are beyond the river, all such as H3046 the laws of thy God; and H3046 ye them that H3046 them not.

The king answered and said to the Chaldeans, The thing is gone from me: if ye will not make H3046 unto me the dream, with the interpretation thereof, ye shall be cut in pieces, and your houses shall be made a dunghill.
