They returned us answer in the following manner (לְמֵמַר = לֵאמֹר): “We are His, the servants of the God of heaven and earth, and build the house which was built many years ago; and a great king of Israel built and completed it.” דְּנָה מִקַּדְמַת, of before this, i.e., before the present; to which is added the more precise definition: many years (accusative of time), i.e., many years before the present time.
