Ezra 5:13-16

13However, 1in the first year of Cyrus king of Babylon, King Cyrus 2issued a decree to rebuild this house of God.

14Also 3the gold and silver utensils of the house of God which Nebuchadnezzar had taken from the temple in Jerusalem and brought them to the temple of Babylon, King Cyrus took them from the temple of Babylon and they were given to one 4whose name was Sheshbazzar, whom he had appointed governor.

15And he said to him, “Take these utensils, go and deposit them in the temple in Jerusalem, and have the house of God rebuilt in its place.”

16Then that Sheshbazzar came and 5laid the foundations of the house of God in Jerusalem; and from then until now it has been under construction and it is 6not yet completed.’
