At that time Tattenai, governor of Trans- Euphrates, and Shethar- Bozenai and their associates went to them and asked,“ Who authorized you to rebuild this temple and to finish it?”

At that time Tattenai was governor of the land west of the Euphrates River. He and Shethar- Bozenai and their friends went to the Jews. They asked them,“ Who authorized you to rebuild this temple? Who told you that you could finish it?”

At the same time Tattenai the governor of the province Beyond the River and Shethar-bozenai and their associates came to them and spoke to them thus:“ Who gave you a decree to build this house and to finish this structure?”

At that time Tattenai the governor of the region west of the Euphrates River, Shethar-bozenai, and their colleagues came to the Jews and asked,“ Who gave you the order to rebuild this temple and finish this structure?”

At that time Tattenai, the governor of the province beyond the Euphrates River, and Shethar bozenai and their colleagues came to them and spoke to them as follows:“ Who issued you a decree to rebuild this temple and to finish this structure?”

At the same time Tattenai the governor of the region beyond the River and Shethar-Boznai and their companions came to them and spoke thus to them:“ Who has commanded you to build this temple and finish this wall?”

At the same time came to them Tattenai, the governor beyond the River, and Shethar- bozenai, and their companions, and said thus unto them, Who gave you a decree to build this house, and to finish this wall?

At that time Tattenai the governor of the region west of the Euphrates River, Shethar-bozenai, and their colleagues came to the Jews and asked,“ Who gave you the order to rebuild this temple and finish this structure?”

At the same time came to them Tatnai, governor on this side the river, and Shetharboznai, and their companions, and said thus unto them, Who hath commanded you to build this house, and to make up this wall?

At that time Tattenai governor of Trans-Euphrates, Shethar-Bozenai, and their colleagues came to them and asked,“ Who gave you authority to rebuild this temple and to complete this structure?”

At the same time Tattenai, the governor beyond the River came to them, with Shetharbozenai, and their companions, and asked them,“ Who gave you a decree to build this house, and to finish this wall?”

So King Darius sent this message:“ Now therefore, Tattenai, governor of the province west of the Euphrates River, and Shethar bozenai, and your colleagues and other officials west of the Euphrates River— stay away from there!

Tattenai, governor of the province west of the Euphrates River, and Shethar bozenai and their colleagues complied at once with the command of King Darius.

“ We asked the leaders,‘ Who gave you permission to rebuild this Temple and restore this structure?’

Any of you who are his people may go to Jerusalem in Judah to rebuild this Temple of the Lord, the God of Israel, who lives in Jerusalem. And may your God be with you!

“ I, Artaxerxes the king, hereby send this decree to all the treasurers in the province west of the Euphrates River:‘ You are to give Ezra, the priest and teacher of the law of the God of heaven, whatever he requests of you.

When Jesus returned to the Temple and began teaching, the leading priests and elders came up to him. They demanded,“ By what authority are you doing all these things? Who gave you the right?”

“ The king should know that the Jews who came here to Jerusalem from Babylon are rebuilding this rebellious and evil city. They have already laid the foundation and will soon finish its walls.

This is a copy of the letter that Tattenai the governor, Shethar bozenai, and the other officials of the province west of the Euphrates River sent to King Darius:

They brought in the two disciples and demanded,“ By what power, or in whose name, have you done this?”

I also said to the king,“ If it please the king, let me have letters addressed to the governors of the province west of the Euphrates River, instructing them to let me travel safely through their territories on my way to Judah.And please give me a letter addressed to Asaph, the manager of the king’s forest, instructing him to give me timber. I will need it to make beams for the gates of the Temple fortress, for the city walls, and for a house for myself.” And the king granted these requests, because the gracious hand of God was on me.When I came to the governors of the province west of the Euphrates River, I delivered the king’s letters to them. The king, I should add, had sent along army officers and horsemen to protect me.
