Parallel
Ezra 5:9
Swete's Septuagint · Berean Standard Bible
τότε ἠρωτήσαμεν τοὺς πρεσβυτέρους ἐκείνους, καὶ οὕτως εἴπαμεν αὐτοῖς Τίς ἔθηκεν ὑμῖν γνώμην τοῦ οἰκοδομῆσαι τὴν χορηγίαν ταύτην καὶ καταρτίσασθαι;
So we questioned the elders and asked, “Who authorized you to rebuild this temple and restore this structure?”
