Ezra 6:3-5

International Children’s Bible

³ King Cyrus gave an order about the Temple of God in Jerusalem. This was in the first year he was king. This was the order:

“Let the Temple be rebuilt. It will be a place to present sacrifices. Let its foundations be laid. The Temple should be 90 feet high and 90 feet wide. ⁴ It must have three layers of large stones, then one layer of timbers. The costs should be paid from the king’s treasury. ⁵ The gold and silver things from the Temple of God should be put back in their places. Nebuchadnezzar took those things from the Temple in Jerusalem. And he brought them to Babylon. They are to be put back in the Temple of God in Jerusalem.”
