Ezra 4:2 in Context — Ezra 4
1 Y OYENDO los enemigos de Judá y de Benjamín, que los [venidos] de la cautividad edificaban el templo de Jehová Dios de Israel,
2 Llegáronse á Zorobabel, y á los cabezas de los padres, y dijéronles: Edificaremos con vosotros, porque como vosotros buscaremos á vuestro Dios, y á él sacrificamos desde los días de Esar-haddón rey de Asiria, que nos hizo subir aquí.
3 Y díjoles Zorobabel, y Jesuá, y los demás cabezas de los padres de Israel: No nos conviene edificar con vosotros casa á nuestro Dios, sino que nosotros solos [la] edificaremos á Jehová Dios de Israel, como nos mandó el rey Ciro, rey de Persia.
4 Mas el pueblo de la tierra debilitaba las manos del pueblo de Judá, y los arredraban de edificar.
