Ezra 4:1-2
•“Now when
the adversaries (tzar) of Judah and Benjamin heard that the children of captivity were building a temple unto
YHWH, the ‘Elohiym of Israel; Then they came to Zerubbabel, and to the
heads of the father’s houses, and said unto them: “Let us build with you; for we seek your God as
you do; and we do sacrifice unto him since the days of Esarhaddon King of Assur,
which brought us up hither.”
