Ezra 6:3-5

Good News Translation

³ “In the first year of his reign Emperor Cyrus commanded that the Temple in Jerusalem be rebuilt as a place where sacrifices are made and offerings are burned. The Temple is to be ninety feet high and ninety feet wide. ⁴ The walls are to be built with one layer of wood on top of each three layers of stone. All expenses are to be paid by the royal treasury. ⁵ Also the gold and silver utensils which King Nebuchadnezzar brought to Babylon from the Temple in Jerusalem are to be returned to their proper place in the Jerusalem Temple.”
