Ezra 5:9 in Context — Ezra 5
7 Enviáronle carta, y de esta manera estaba escrito en ella. Al rey Darío toda paz.
8 Sea notorio al rey, que fuimos á la provincia de Judea, á la casa del gran Dios, la cual se edifica de piedra de mármol; y los maderos son puestos en las paredes, y la obra se hace apriesa, y prospera en sus manos.
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.
