Ezra 5:13-15

Common English Bible

¹³ However, in the first year of his rule, Babylon’s King Cyrus issued a decree to rebuild this house of God. ¹⁴ King Cyrus also took the gold and silver equipment from God’s house out of the temple in Babylon (the ones that Nebuchadnezzar took from the temple in Jerusalem and placed in the temple in Babylon) and gave them to a man named Sheshbazzar, whom he had appointed governor. ¹⁵ Cyrus said to him, ‘Take this equipment and go and put it in Jerusalem’s temple, and let God’s house be rebuilt on its original site.’
