<05649>

the men
<0606>

on this side
<05675>

and at such a time
<03706>_.

Be it
<01934> (8748)

known
<03046> (8752)

unto the king
<04430>_,

that the Jews
<03062>

which

thee

building
<01124> (8750)

the rebellious

and the bad
<0873>

city
<07149>_,

and have set up
<03635> (8806) (8675) <03635> (8720)

the walls
<07792>

[thereof], and joined
<02338> (8681)

<0787>_.

{set up: or, finished} {joined: Chaldee, sewed together}

Be it known
<03046> (8752) <01934> (8748)

now
<03705>

unto the king

toll
<04061>_,

tribute
<01093>_,

and custom
<01983>_,

and [so] thou shalt endamage
<05142> (8681)

the revenue
<0674>

of the kings
<04430>_.

{pay: Chaldee, give} {revenue: or, strength}

Now
<03705>

because
<06903> <03606>

we have
<01768>

maintenance
<04415> (8754) <04416>

from [the king's] palace
<01965>_,

and it was not
<03809>

meet
<0749> (8750)

for us to see
<02370> (8749)

the king's
<04430>

dishonour
<06173>_,

therefore
<05922> <01836>

have we sent
<07972> (8754)

and certified
<03046> (8684)

the king
<04430>_;

{we have...: Chaldee, we are salted with the salt of the palace}

[is] a rebellious
<04779>

city
<07149>_,

and hurtful
<05142> (8683)

unto kings
<04430>

and provinces
<04083>_,

destroyed

We
