Ezra 8:17
Brenton's English Septuagint · Berean Standard Bible
And I forwarded them to the rulers with the money of the place, and I put words in their mouth to speak to their brethren the Athinim with the money of the place, that they should bring us singers for the house of our God.
And I sent them to Iddo, the leader at Casiphia, with a message for him and his kinsmen, the temple servants (note: Hebrew the Nethinim; also in verse 20) at Casiphia, that they should bring to us ministers for the house of our God.
