EZRA 5:10 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
Ezr 5:9Ezr 5:11
We asked their names also, to certify thee, that we might write the names of the men that were the chief of them.
The governors' report continues: "We also asked them their names, so that we could write down the names of their leaders for your information." The notation that the governors had collected the names of project leaders indicates their intention to provide comprehensive documentation to the king, allowing imperial authorities to identify responsible individuals. The collection of names suggests that the governors intended to create accountability mechanisms, identifying individuals capable of being held responsible for the project's authorization and conduct. The explicit statement of intent to report names to the king indicates formal administrative procedure, wherein imperial authorities would be provided with complete information for their judgment. The thoroughness of the governors' documentation suggests professional administrative approach rather than arbitrary obstruction.
