Ezra 4:3Word of YahwehBut Zerubbabel, and Jeshua, and the rest of the chief of the fathers of Israel, said unto them, Ye have nothing to do with us to build an house unto our Elah; but we ourselves together will build unto Yahweh Elah of Israel, as king Cyrus the king of Persia hath commanded us. See the chapter |
Now in the second year of their coming unto the house of Elah at Jerusalem, in the second month, began Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, and Jeshua the son of Jozadak, and the remnant of their brethren the priests and the Levites, and all they that were come out of the captivity unto Jerusalem; and appointed the Levites, from twenty years old and upward, to set forward the work of the house of Yahweh.
