Exiles return to Jerusalem
2 In the first year of Cyrus as king of the Persians the Lord motivated the spirit of King Cyrus to fulfill the Lord’s word spoken through Jeremiah. He made a royal announcement throughout the whole of his kingdom that he also put into writing. 2 This is what Persia’s King Cyrus says:
The Lord of Israel, the Most High Lord, has appointed me king of the entire world. The Lord has commissioned me to build God’s house in Jerusalem in Judea.
