# Connecting Statement:
This continues the decree that King Artaxerxes gave to Ezra.
# I ... hereby issue a decree
The phrase "hereby issue" means that Darius, by speaking, is issuing the decree. Your language may have a different way to show that the speaker is claiming to make something happen, not simply explaining what he is doing. See how these words are translated in [Ezra 6:12](../06/12.md).
# the Province Beyond the River
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 it in [Ezra 4:10](../04/10.md). (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/translate-names]])
# that anything that Ezra ... asks from you should be given in full
This can be expressed in active form. "Give Ezra ... in full anything he asks of you" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-activepassive]])
# should be given in full
The phrase "in full" here represents whatever quantity necessary to do the work. Alternate translation: "should be given as much as he needs" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-explicit]])
