End of The Babylonian Captivity

1 Now in the first year of Cyrus king of Persia, that the word of the Lord aby the mouth of Jeremiah might be fulfilled, the Lord stirred up the spirit of Cyrus king of Persia, bso that he made a proclamation throughout all his kingdom, and also put it in writing, saying, 
2 Thus says Cyrus king of Persia:
All the kingdoms of the earth the Lord God of heaven has given me. And He has acommanded me to build Him a house at Jerusalem which is in Judah.  
3 Who is among you of all His people? May his God be with him, and let him go up to Jerusalem which is in Judah, and build the house of the Lord God of Israel a(He is God), which is in Jerusalem.  
4 And whoever is left in any place where he dwells, let the men of his place help him with silver and gold, with goods and livestock, besides the freewill offerings for the house of God which is in Jerusalem.
