3 At that time Tattenai governor of Trans-Euphrates, Shethar-Bozenai, and their colleagues came to them and asked, |Who gave you authority to rebuild this temple and to complete this structure?|

4 They also asked them, |What are the names of the men who are building this edifice?|

5 But God was watching over the elders of Judah, and they were not stopped until a report could be dispatched to Darius and a letter could be sent back concerning this.
