Who is there among you of all his people? his Elohim be with him, and let him go up to Jerusalem, which is in Judah, and build the house of Yahweh Elohim of Israel, he is the Elohim, which is in Jerusalem.
Now therefore, Tatnai, governor beyond the river, Shetharboznai, and your companions the Apharsachites, which are beyond the river, be ye far from thence:
Moreover I make a decree what ye shall do to the elders of these Jews for the building of this house of Elah: that of the king's goods, even of the tribute beyond the river, forthwith expenses be given unto these men, that they be not hindered.
