2 Esdras 10:45-47

Common English Bible

⁴⁵ As for what she said to you, that she was infertile for thirty years, it is because there were three thousand^[a] years in the world when offerings weren’t yet made in her. ⁴⁶ After three thousand^[b] years, Solomon built the city and made offerings. That is when the infertile woman bore a son. ⁴⁷ As for what she said to you, that she nourished him with labor, this was the time that Jerusalem was inhabited.
