11 And thus they returned us an answer, saying: “We are the servants of the God of heaven and earth, and we are rebuilding the1 temple that was built many years ago, which a great king of Israel built aand completed.
12 But abecause our fathers provoked the God of heaven to wrath, He gave them into the hand of bNebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, the Chaldean, who destroyed this temple and ccarried the people away to Babylon.
13 However, in the first year of aCyrus king of Babylon, King Cyrus issued a decree to build this1 house of God.
14 Also, athe gold and silver articles of the house of God, which Nebuchadnezzar had taken from the temple that was in Jerusalem and carried into the temple of Babylon—those King Cyrus took from the temple of Babylon, and they were given to bone named Sheshbazzar, whom he had made governor.
15 And he said to him, ‘Take these articles; go, carry them to the temple site that is in Jerusalem, and let the house of God be rebuilt on its former site.’
