3 (A)In the first year of King Cyrus, Cyrus the king issued a decree:

‘Concerning the house of God in Jerusalem, let that house, the place where sacrifices are offered, be rebuilt and let its foundations be [a]retained, its height being [b]60 cubits and its width 60 cubits;

4 (B)with three layers of huge stones and [c]one layer of timbers. And let the cost be given from the [d]royal treasury.

5 And also let (C)the gold and silver articles of the house of God, which Nebuchadnezzar took out from the temple in Jerusalem and brought to Babylon, be returned and [e]brought to their places in the temple in Jerusalem; and you shall deposit them in the house of God.’
