Tattenai the governor beyond the River and Shetharbozenai come and ask who gave the decree to build this house

강 서편 총독 닷드내와 스달보스내가 나아와 이 전을 건축하라 명한 이를 물음

Ezra 5:3–5: the text says, “At the same time Tattenai, the governor beyond the River, came to them, with Shetharbozenai and their companions, and asked them, ‘Who gave you a decree to build this house and to finish this wall?’ They also asked for the names of the men who were making this building. But the eye of their God was on the elders of the Jews, and they didn’t make them cease until the matter should come to Darius, and an answer should be returned by letter concerning it.” The Korean Revised Version gives 5:4 in the first person plural, with the names of those building told rather than asked for (우리가 이 건축하는 자의 이름을 고하였으나), and reads at 5:5 하나님이 유다 장로들을 돌아 보셨으므로 (God looked after the elders of the Jews).
