SCRIPTURE

"and he said unto him, Take these vessels, go, put them in the temple that is in Jerusalem, and let the house of God be builded in its place." — Ezra 5:15 (ASV)

Take these vessels, go, carry them ... and let the house of God ... —The three imperatives in this verse, without a copula, followed by a fourth, vividly express the feeling of the suppliants in the remembrance of the decree: thus we have another note of historical truth.
