23 Aussitôt que la copie de la lettre du roi Artaxerxès eut été lue devant Rehum, Schimschaï, le secrétaire, et leurs collègues, ils allèrent en hâte à Jérusalem vers les Juifs, et firent cesser leurs travaux par violence et par force.
24 Alors s’arrêta l’ouvrage de la maison de Dieu à Jérusalem, et il fut interrompu jusqu’à la seconde année du règne de Darius, roi de Perse.
