Be it known now unto the king, that, if this city be builded, and the walls set up again, then will they not pay toll, tribute, and custom, and so thou shalt endamage the revenue of the kings.
Que sepa el rey que si esta ciudad es reconstruida y sus murallas son levantadas, entonces el pueblo no pagará impuestos, tributos, ni aranceles, y esto perjudicará los ingresos del rey.
Los enemigos de Jerusalén advirtieron al rey que reconstruir la ciudad resultaría en pérdida de ingresos fiscales.
📚 Contexto Histórico
This was written around 536-458 BC when the Jewish exiles had returned from Babylon and were trying to rebuild Jerusalem under Persian rule. Local enemies who had settled in the land during the exile were opposing the reconstruction project. They wrote this letter to King Artaxerxes of Persia, hoping to stop the rebuilding by appealing to his financial interests and suggesting the Jews would become rebellious.
