Ezra 5:11 in Context — Ezra 5
9 Entonces preguntamos á los ancianos, diciéndoles así: ¿Quién os dió mandamiento para edificar esta casa, y para restablecer estos muros?
10 Y también les preguntamos sus nombres para hacértelo saber, para escribir[te] los nombres de los varones que estaban por cabezas de ellos.
11 Y respondiéronnos, diciendo así: Nosotros somos siervos del Dios del cielo y de la tierra, y reedificamos la casa que ya muchos años antes había sido edificada, la cual edificó y fundó el gran rey de Israel.
12 Mas después que nuestros padres ensañaron al Dios de los cielos, él los entregó en mano de Nabucodonosor rey de Babilonia, Caldeo, el cual destruyó esta casa, é hizo trasportar el pueblo á Babilonia.
13 Empero el primer año de Ciro rey de Babilonia, el [mismo] rey Ciro dió mandamiento para que esta casa de Dios fuese edificada.
