Ezra 6:3-5

31In the first year of King Cyrus, Cyrus the king issued a decree: ‘Concerning the house of God at Jerusalem, let the 2temple, the place where sacrifices are offered, be rebuilt and let its foundations be 3retained, its height being 60 cubits and its width 60 cubits; 44with three layers of huge stones and 5one layer of timbers. And let the cost be paid from the 6royal treasury. 5Also let 7the gold and silver utensils of the house of God, which Nebuchadnezzar took from the temple in Jerusalem and brought to Babylon, be returned and 8brought to their places in the temple in Jerusalem; and you shall put them in the house of God.’
