¹³ However, ^(A)in the first year of Cyrus king of Babylon, King Cyrus ^(B)issued a decree to rebuild this house of God. ¹⁴ Also ^(C)the gold and silver utensils of the house of God which Nebuchadnezzar had taken from the temple ^[a]in Jerusalem, and brought them to the temple of Babylon, these King Cyrus took from the temple of Babylon and they were given to one ^(D)whose name was Sheshbazzar, whom he had appointed governor. ¹⁵ He said to him, “Take these utensils, go and deposit them in the temple ^[b]in Jerusalem and let the house of God be rebuilt in its place.”
