13 but in the first year of Koresh the sovereign of Babel, sovereign Koresh set a decree to build this house of Elah:
14 and also the vessels of gold and silver of the house of Elah, which Nebukadnets Tsar removed from the manse in Yeru Shalem and brought into the manse of Babel, which Koresh the sovereign removed from the manse of Babel: and they were given to one; his name, Sheshbats Tsar, whom he set governor;
15 and says to him, Lift these vessels! 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.
