11 H1836 This H6573 is the copy H104 of the letter H1768 that H7972 they sent H5922 unto him, H783 even unto Artaxerxes H4430 the king; H5649 Your servants H606 the men H5675 on this side H5103 the river, H3706 and at such a time.

12 H1934 Be it H3046 known H4430 unto the king, H3062 that the Jews H1768 which H5559 came up H4481 from H3890 you H5922 to us H858 are come H3390 unto Jerusalem, H1124 building H4779 the rebellious H873 and the bad H7149 city, H3635 and have set up H7792 the walls H2338 there, and joined H787 the foundations.

13 H3046 Be it known H3705 now H4430 unto the king, H2006 that, if H1791 this H7149 city H1124 be built, H7792 and the walls H3635 set up H3809 again, then will they not H5415 pay H4061 toll, H1093 tribute, H1983 and custom, H5142 and so you shall damage H674 the revenue H4430 of the kings.

14 H3705 Now H6903 because H1768 we have H4415 maintenance H1965 from the king's palace, H3809 and it was not H749 meet H2370 for us to see H4430 the king's H6173 dishonor, H5922 therefore H7972 have we sent H3046 and certified H4430 the king;

15 H1240 That search H5609 may be made in the book H1799 of the records H2 of your fathers: H7912 so shall you find H5609 in the book H1799 of the records, H3046 and know H1791 that this H7149 city H4779 is a rebellious H7149 city, H5142 and hurtful H4430 unto kings H4083 and provinces, H5648 and that they have moved H849 sedition H1459 inside the same H4481 of H5957 old H3118 time: H5922 for H1836 which H1791 cause was this H7149 city H2718 destroyed.

16 H586 We H3046 certify H4430 the king H2006 that, if H1791 this H7149 city H1124 be built H7792 again, and the walls H3635 there set up, H1836 by this H6903 means H383 you shall have H3809 no H2508 portion H5675 on this side H5103 the river.
