Now in the first year of Cyrus king of Persia, that the LORD’s 1 word by Jeremiah’s mouth might be accomplished, the LORD stirred up the spirit of Cyrus king of Persia, so that he made a proclamation throughout all his kingdom, and put it also in writing, saying, Jer 29:102Ch 36:22-23Jer 25:12-14Ezr 6:22Ezr 7:27Jer 33:7-13Pro 21:1Ezr 5:13-15
“Cyrus king of Persia says, ‘The LORD, the God 2 of heaven, has given me all the kingdoms of the earth; and he has commanded me to build him a house in Jerusalem, which is in Judah.

Then the heads of fathers’ households of Judah and Benjamin, the priests and the Levites, all whose spirit God had stirred to go up, rose up to build the LORD’s house which is in Jerusalem.
