Ezra 4:7-10 King James Version (KJV)
7 And in the days of Artaxerxes wrote Bishlam, Mithredath,
Tabeel, and the rest of their companions, unto Artaxerxes king
of Persia; and the writing of the letter was written in the
Syrian tongue, and interpreted in the Syrian tongue.
8 Rehum the chancellor and Shimshai the scribe wrote a letter
against Jerusalem to Artaxerxes the king in this sort:
9 Then wrote Rehum the chancellor, and Shimshai the scribe, and
the rest of their companions; the Dinaites, the Apharsathchites,
the Tarpelites, the Apharsites, the Archevites, the Babylonians,
the Susanchites, the Dehavites, and the Elamites,
10 And the rest of the nations whom the great and noble Asnapper
brought over, and set in the cities of Samaria, and the rest
that are on this side the river, and at
Ezra 4:7-10
NHEB 7 In the days of Artaxerxes wrote Bishlam, Mithredath,
Tabeel, and the rest of his companions, to Artaxerxes king of
Persia; and the writing of the letter was written in Syrian, and
set forth in the Syrian language. 8 Rehum the chancellor and
Shimshai the scribe wrote a letter against Jerusalem to
Artaxerxes the king in this sort: 9 then Rehum the chancellor,
and Shimshai the scribe, and the rest of their companions, the
Dinaites, and the Apharsathchites, the Tarpelites, the
Apharsites, the Archevites, the Babylonians, the Shushanchites,
the Dehaites, the Elamites, 10 and the rest of the nations whom
the great and noble Osnappar brought over, and set in the city
of Samaria, and in the rest of the country beyond the River, and
so forth, wrote.
These are my thoughts, please share yours.
7 Syrian would be the widely accepted language of the day; today
people do not speak this language. The king wrote this letter
and this made it authoritative.
8 They sent the letter to Jerusalem, this shows that this was
important city because God saw it as important they received a
letter.
9 So they are resettling Jerusalem, this was important because
the Jews had not been their since their exile to Babylon years
earlier, many of them may have never even seen Jerusalem, this
was still the place had for them, if they chose to have a place
in their lives for God, if we make a special place for God with
in our hearts then He has a special place for us as well it is
in glory.
