Ezra 6:1-5

1Then King Darius issued a decree, and 1search was made in the 2archives, where the treasures were stored in Babylon. 2In 3Ecbatana in the fortress, which is 4in the province of Media, a scroll was found and there was written in it as follows: “Memorandum-- 35In the first year of King Cyrus, Cyrus the king issued a decree: ‘Concerning the house of God at Jerusalem, let the 6temple, the place where sacrifices are offered, be rebuilt and let its foundations be 7retained, its height being 60 cubits and its width 60 cubits; 48with three layers of huge stones and 9one layer of timbers. And let the cost be paid from the 10royal treasury. 5Also let 11the gold and silver utensils of the house of God, which Nebuchadnezzar took from the temple in Jerusalem and brought to Babylon, be returned and 12brought to their places in the temple in Jerusalem; and you shall put them in the house of God.’
