Darius told Tattenai and the officials to stay away and let the work on the house of God alone. He also ordered that expenses be paid from royal revenue and that needed offerings be provided. See Ezra 6:7 and Ezra 6:8.
In Ezra 6:6–7, the Persian king’s order addresses the officials who had questioned the Jerusalem building project. They are told to keep their distance and stop interfering. The work on “this house of God” is to continue without obstruction, led by the Jewish governor and the Jewish elders. These verses sit inside a quoted royal response in Ezra 6, where the narrative shifts from reporting a local dispute to presenting the empire’s written decision. Earlier, provincial officials had investigated the rebuilding and asked the king to check whether it was authorized.
Ezra 6:6–7 presents an imperial order that stops regional officials from interfering with the rebuilding of the temple.
