And in the first year of Cyrus king of Persia, at the completion of the word of JEHOVAH from the mouth of Jeremiah, hath JEHOVAH waked up the spirit of Cyrus king of Persia, and he causeth an intimation to pass over into all his kingdom, and also in writing, saying

‘Thus said Cyrus king of Persia, All kingdoms of the earth hath JEHOVAH, God of the heavens, given to me, and He hath laid a charge on me to build to Him a house in Jerusalem, that [is] in Judah; who [is] among you of all His people? His God is with him, and he doth go up to Jerusalem, that [is] in Judah, and build the house of JEHOVAH, God of Israel — He [is] God — that [is] in Jerusalem.
