IN THE FIRST year of King Cyrus, King Cyrus made a decree for the house of God in Jerusalem, Let the house be built, even the place where they offered sacrifices, and let the walls thereof be joined together: let the height thereof be threescore cubits, and the breadth thereof threescore cubits,

Three [a]orders of [b]great stones, and one order of timber, and let the expenses be given of the king’s house.

And also let them render the vessels of the house of God (of gold and silver, which Nebuchadnezzar took out of the Temple, which was in Jerusalem, and brought unto Babel) and let [c]him go unto the Temple that is in Jerusalem to his place, and put them in the house of God.
