Where Shethar-bozenai appears in Scripture
בֵּהּ-זִמְנָא אֲתָא עֲלֵיהוֹן תַּתְּנַי פַּחַת עֲבַֽר-נַהֲרָה וּשְׁתַר בּֽוֹזְנַי וּכְנָוָֽתְהוֹן וְכֵן אָֽמְרִין לְהֹם מַן-שָׂם לְכֹם טְעֵם בַּיְתָא דְנָה לִבְּנֵא וְאֻשַּׁרְנָא דְנָה לְשַׁכְלָלָֽה׃
At the same time came to them Tatnai, governor on this side the river, and Shethar-boznai, and their companions, and said thus unto them, Who hath commanded you to build this house, and to make up this wall?
פַּרְשֶׁגֶן אִגַּרְתָּא דִּֽי-שְׁלַח תַּתְּנַי׀ פַּחַת עֲבַֽר-נַהֲרָה וּשְׁתַר בּֽוֹזְנַי וּכְנָוָתֵהּ אֲפַרְסְכָיֵא דִּי בַּֽעֲבַר נַֽהֲרָה עַל-דָּֽרְיָוֶשׁ מַלְכָּֽא׃
The copy of the letter that Tatnai, governor on this side the river, and Shethar-boznai, and his companions the Apharsachites, which were on this side the river, sent unto Darius the king:
כְּעַן תַּתְּנַי פַּחַת עֲבַֽר-נַהֲרָה שְׁתַר בּֽוֹזְנַי וּכְנָוָתְהוֹן אֲפַרְסְכָיֵא דִּי בַּֽעֲבַר נַֽהֲרָה רַֽחִיקִין הֲווֹ מִן-תַּמָּֽה׃
Now therefore, Tatnai, governor beyond the river, Shethar-boznai, and your companions the Apharsachites, which are beyond the river, be ye far from thence:
אֱדַיִן תַּתְּנַי פַּחַת עֲבַֽר-נַהֲרָה שְׁתַר בּֽוֹזְנַי וּכְנָוָֽתְהוֹן לָֽקֳבֵל דִּֽי-שְׁלַח דָּֽרְיָוֶשׁ מַלְכָּא כְּנֵמָא אָסְפַּרְנָא עֲבַֽדוּ׃
Then Tatnai, governor on this side the river, Shethar-boznai, and their companions, according to that which Darius the king had sent, so they did speedily.
