Ezra 5:2-4

New International Version

² Then Zerubbabel^(A) son of Shealtiel and Joshua^(B) son of Jozadak set to work^(C) to rebuild the house of God in Jerusalem. And the prophets of God were with them, supporting them.

³ At that time Tattenai,^(D) governor of Trans-Euphrates, and Shethar-Bozenai^(E) and their associates went to them and asked, “Who authorized you to rebuild this temple and to finish it?”^{(F) 4} They^[a] also asked, “What are the names of those who are constructing this building?”
