Ezra 4:1 in Context — Ezra 4
1 Les ennemis de Juda et de Benjamin apprirent que les fils de la captivité bâtissaient un temple à l’Éternel, le Dieu d’Israël.
2 Ils vinrent auprès de Zorobabel et des chefs de familles, et leur dirent: Nous bâtirons avec vous; car, comme vous, nous invoquons votre Dieu, et nous lui offrons des sacrifices depuis le temps d’Ésar-Haddon, roi d’Assyrie, qui nous a fait monter ici.
3 Mais Zorobabel, Josué, et les autres chefs des familles d’Israël, leur répondirent: Ce n’est pas à vous et à nous de bâtir la maison de notre Dieu; nous la bâtirons nous seuls à l’Éternel, le Dieu d’Israël, comme nous l’a ordonné le roi Cyrus, roi de Perse.
