This can be translated in active form. See how you translated these words in [Ezra 4:13](../04/13.md). Alternate translation: "if they build the city and wall" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-activepassive]])

This is the name of the province that was west of the Euphrates River. It was across the river from the city of Susa. See how you translated this in [Ezra 4:10](../04/10.md). (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/translate-names]])
