Darius
the king
made
a decree,
and search
was made in the house
of the rolls,
where
the treasures
were laid up
in Babylon.
And there was found
at Achmetha,
in the palace
that is in the province
of the Medes,
a
roll,
and therein
was a record
thus
written:
In the first
year
of Cyrus
the king
the same Cyrus
the king
made
a decree
concerning the house
of God
at Jerusalem,
Let the house
be builded,
the place
where they offered
sacrifices,
and let the foundations
thereof be strongly laid;
the height
thereof threescore

and the breadth

and brought
unto Babylon,
be restored,

unto the temple
which is at Jerusalem,
every one to his place,
and place
them in the house
