2 And at1 Achmetha, in the palace that is in the province of aMedia, a scroll was found, and in it a record was written thus:
3 In the first year of King Cyrus, King Cyrus issued a adecree concerning the house of God at Jerusalem: “Let the house be rebuilt, the place where they offered sacrifices; and let the foundations of it be firmly laid, its height sixty cubits and its width sixty cubits,
4 awith three rows of heavy stones and one row of new timber. Let the bexpenses be paid from the king’s treasury.
5 Also let athe gold and silver articles of the house of God, which Nebuchadnezzar took from the temple which is in Jerusalem and brought to Babylon, be restored and taken back to the temple which is in Jerusalem, each to its place; and deposit them in the house of God”—
6 aNow therefore, Tattenai, governor of the region beyond the River, and Shethar-Boznai, and your companions the Persians who are beyond the River, keep yourselves far from there.
