Ezra 6:3-5

New American Standard Bible

^3 (A)In the first year of King Cyrus, Cyrus the king issued a decree: ‘Concerning the house of God in Jerusalem, let the ^[a]temple, the place where sacrifices are offered, be rebuilt, and let ^[b]its foundations be repaired, its height being ^[c]sixty cubits and its width sixty cubits, ^4 (B)with three layers of large stones and ^[d]one layer of timber. And the cost is to be paid from the ^[e]royal treasury. ⁵ Also ^(C)the gold and silver utensils of the house of God, which Nebuchadnezzar took from the temple in Jerusalem and brought to Babylon, are to be returned and ^[f]brought to their places in the temple in Jerusalem; and you shall put them in the house of God.’
