Ezra 4:11

4:11 (This is a copy of the letter they sent to him:)

“To King Artaxerxes, 1  from your servants in 2  Trans-Euphrates:

Ezra 8:20

8:20 and some of the temple servants that David and his officials had established for the work of the Levites – 220 of them. They were all designated by name.

1 tn The Masoretic accents indicate that the phrase “to Artaxerxes the king” goes with what precedes and that the letter begins with the words “from your servants.” But it seems better to understand the letter to begin by identifying the addressee.

2 tn Aram “men of.”
