Ezra 5:13-15

New International Reader's Version

¹³ “But King Cyrus gave an order to rebuild this house of God. He gave it in the first year he was king of Babylon. ¹⁴ He even removed some gold and silver objects from the temple of Babylon. Nebuchadnezzar had brought them there from the house of God in Jerusalem. He had taken them to the temple in Babylon. Then King Cyrus brought the objects out. He gave them to a man named Sheshbazzar. Cyrus had appointed him as governor. ¹⁵ Cyrus told him, ‘Take these objects with you. Go and put them in the temple in Jerusalem. Rebuild the house of God in the same place where it stood before.’
