Ezra 6:3-7

New International Version

³ In the first year of King Cyrus, the king issued a decree concerning the temple of God in Jerusalem:

Let the temple be rebuilt as a place to present sacrifices, and let its foundations be laid.^(A) It is to be sixty cubits^[a] high and sixty cubits wide, ⁴ with three courses^(B) of large stones and one of timbers. The costs are to be paid by the royal treasury.^{(C) 5} Also, the gold^(D) and silver articles of the house of God, which Nebuchadnezzar took from the temple in Jerusalem and brought to Babylon, are to be returned to their places in the temple in Jerusalem; they are to be deposited in the house of God.^(E)

⁶ Now then, Tattenai,^(F) governor of Trans-Euphrates, and Shethar-Bozenai^(G) and you other officials of that province, stay away from there. ⁷ Do not interfere with the work on this temple of God. Let the governor of the Jews and the Jewish elders rebuild this house of God on its site.
