211to fulfill the word of the Lord by the mouth of Jeremiah, until 2the land had enjoyed its Sabbaths. 3All the days of its desolation it kept the Sabbath 45until seventy years were complete.

226Now in the first year of Cyrus king of Persia--in order to fulfill the word of the Lord 7by the mouth of Jeremiah--the Lord 8stirred up the spirit of Cyrus king of Persia so that he sent a proclamation throughout his kingdom, and also put it in writing, saying, 23“This is what Cyrus king of Persia says: ‘The Lord, the God of heaven, has given me all the kingdoms of the earth, and He has appointed me to build Him a house in Jerusalem, which is in Judah. Whoever there is among you of all His people, may the Lord his God be with him; 9go up then!’”
