Ezra 5:3 in Context — Ezra 5

1 E o profeta Ageu, e Zacarias filho de Ido, profetas, profetizaram aos judeus que estavam em Judá e em Jerusalém, em nome do Deus de Israel, a eles.

2 Então se levantaram Zorobabel, filho de Sealtiel, e Jesua, filho de Jozadaque; e começaram a reconstruir a casa de Deus que está em Jerusalém; e com eles os profetas de Deus, que os ajudavam.

3 Naquele tempo veio a eles Tatenai, capitão da região além do rio, e Setar-Bozenai e seus companheiros, e lhes perguntaram assim:Quem vos deu ordem para reconstruir esta casa, e restaurar estes muros?

4 Então assim lhes dissemos quais eram os nomes dos homens que reconstruíam este edifício.

5 Mas os olhos de seu Deus estavam sobre os anciãos dos judeus, e não os impediram, até que a causa viesse a Dario; e então responderam por carta sobre isso.
