Ezra

Ezra 5:13–15

13In the first year of his reign, however, Cyrus king of Babylon issued a decree to rebuild this house of God. 14He also removed from the templee of Babylon the gold and silver articles belonging to the house of God, which Nebuchadnezzar had taken and carried there from the temple in Jerusalem. King Cyrus gave these articles to a man named Sheshbazzar, whom he appointed governor 15and instructed, ‘Take these articles, put them in the temple in Jerusalem, and let the house of God be rebuilt on its original site.’
