YAH HUDAH AND BEN YAMIN TRIBULATE AGAINST THE MANSE OF YAH VEH
And the tribulators of Yah Hudah and Ben Yamin hear that the sons of the exile build the manse to Yah Veh Elohim of Yisra El:
2 and they come near to Zerub Babel and the heads of the fathers, and say to them, Let us build with you: for we, as you, seek your Elohim; and we sacrificed not to him since the days of Esar Chaddon sovereign of Ashshur who ascended us here.
3 And Zerub Babel and Yah Shua and the survivors of the heads of the fathers of Yisra El say to them, You have naught to do with us to build a house to our Elohim; but we ourselves together build to Yah Veh Elohim of Yisra El - as sovereign Koresh the sovereign of Persia misvahed us.
4 And so be it, the people of the land slacken the hands of the people of Yah Hudah and terrify them in building:
5 and hire counsellors against them to break down their counsel all the days of Koresh sovereign of Persia - even until the sovereigndom of Daryavesh sovereign of Persia.
