Now, King, if it seems right, please search the royal archives that are in Babylon.
Then this Sheshbazzar, after coming here, laid the foundations of the house of the Lord that is in Jerusalem. Although it has been in process of construction from that time until now, it has not yet reached completion.”
Now therefore, O king, if it seems wise to do so, let search be made in the royal archives of our lord the king that are in Babylon;
Then this Sheshbazzar, after coming here, laid the foundations of the house of the Lord which is in Jerusalem, and although it has been in process of construction from that time until now, it has not yet reached completion.’
Then Sanabassar under-laid the foundaments (or the foundations) of the house of the Lord, that is in Jerusalem; and from thence unto now is (still) abuilding, and hath taken no full ending.
