Ezra 6:5-7

New English Translation

⁵ Furthermore, let the gold and silver vessels of the temple of God, which Nebuchadnezzar brought from the temple in Jerusalem and carried to Babylon, be returned and brought to their proper place in the temple in Jerusalem. Let them be deposited in the temple of God.’

⁶ “Now Tattenai governor of Trans-Euphrates, Shethar-Bozenai, and their colleagues, the officials of Trans-Euphrates—all of you stay far away from there. ⁷ Leave the work on this temple of God alone.^[a] Let the governor of the Jews and the elders of the Jews rebuild this temple of God in its proper place.
