Ezra 8:15 in Context — Ezra 8

13 des fils d’Adonikam, les derniers, dont voici les noms: Éliphéleth, Jeïel et Schemaeja, et avec eux soixante mâles;

14 des fils de Bigvaï, Uthaï et Zabbud, et avec eux soixante-dix mâles.

15 Je les rassemblai près du fleuve qui coule vers Ahava, et nous campâmes là trois jours. Je dirigeai mon attention sur le peuple et sur les sacrificateurs, et je ne trouvai là aucun des fils de Lévi.

16 Alors je fis appeler les chefs Éliézer, Ariel, Schemaeja, Elnathan, Jarib, Elnathan, Nathan, Zacharie et Meschullam, et les docteurs Jojarib et Elnathan.

17 Je les envoyai vers le chef Iddo, demeurant à Casiphia, et je mis dans leur bouche ce qu’ils devaient dire à Iddo et à ses frères les Néthiniens qui étaient à Casiphia, afin qu’ils nous amenassent des serviteurs pour la maison de notre Dieu.
