Ezra 6:3-5

31In the first year of King Cyrus, Cyrus the king issued a decree: ‘Concerning the house of God in Jerusalem, let the 2temple, the place where sacrifices are offered, be rebuilt, and let 3its foundations be repaired, its height being 4sixty cubits and its width sixty cubits, 45with three layers of large stones and 6one layer of timber. And the cost is to be paid from the 7royal treasury. 5Also 8the gold and silver utensils of the house of God, which Nebuchadnezzar took from the temple in Jerusalem and brought to Babylon, are to be returned and 9brought to their places in the temple in Jerusalem; and you shall put them in the house of God.’
