Go, deposit them in the manse in Yeru Shalem: and build the house of Elah in his place: 16 then this Sheshbats Tsar comes and lays the foundation of the house of Elah in Yeru Shalem: and from then even until now is being built and is not shalamed. 17 And now, if it is good to the sovereign, search in the treasure house of the sovereign at Babel, whether there is a decree set by Koresh the sovereign to build this house of Elah at Yeru Shalem: and send us the intentions of the sovereign concerning this matter.
