דִּ֣י di “that”דִּ֤י di “who”

דִּֽי־ di- “that”

דִּ֥י di “which”

And I gave orders for a search to be made, and it is certain that in the past this town has made trouble for kings, and that outbursts against authority have taken place there.

דִּ֚י di “that”

This is to give the king word that we went into the land of Judah, to the house of the great God, which is made of great stones, and has its walls supported with wood, and the work is going on with industry, and they are doing it well.
