“This is the word of Cyrus king of Persia: The Lord, God of heaven has given me all the
kingdoms of the earth, and he himself has charged
me to build him a house at Jerusalem in Judah. To
every man of his people now among you I say,
God be with him, and let him go up to Jerusalem
in Judah, and rebuild the house of the Lord God of
Israel, the God whose city is Jerusalem.”
