Rehum the chancellor and Shimshai the scribe wrote a letter against Jerusalem to Artaxerxes the king after this sort:

כְּנֵֽמָא׃ ke.Ne.ma' “as follows”

And they said to them after this manner: What are the names of the men that build this building?

כְּנֵ֖מָא ke.Ne.ma' “as follows”

Then asked we those elders: thus we said to them, Who gave you orders to build this house and to complete this wall?

כְּנֵ֖מָא ke.Ne.ma' “as follows”

And thus they returned us answer, saying, We are the servants of the God of the heavens and the earth, and build the house that was built these many years ago; and a great king of Israel built and completed it.

וּכְנֵ֥מָא (כְנֵ֥מָא) khe.Ne.ma' “as follows”

Then Tatnai, governor on this side the river, Shethar-boznai, and their companions, because of that which king Darius had sent, did so diligently.
