Usage: Shethar-Bozenai is a proper noun used in the context of the Old Testament, specifically in the Book of Ezra. It refers to a Persian official who opposed the rebuilding of the Jewish temple in Jerusalem during the reign of King Darius. Context: Shethar-Bozenai appears in the Book of Ezra as a significant figure during the post-exilic period of Jewish history. He is mentioned in Ezra 5:3 and 5:6, where he, along with Tattenai, the governor of the province beyond the River, questions the authority of the Jews to rebuild the temple in Jerusalem. The correspondence between these officials and King Darius is recorded in Ezra 5:6-17, where they report the activities of the Jews and seek confirmation of the decree issued by King Cyrus allowing the reconstruction. In Ezra 6:6-13, Darius responds, affirming the decree of Cyrus and instructing Tattenai, Shethar-Bozenai, and their associates to allow the work to proceed without interference. This narrative highlights the political and administrative challenges faced by the Jewish community during the restoration period and underscores the providential role of Persian rulers in the fulfillment of God's purposes for His people.
