1 ENTONCES el rey Darío dió mandamiento, y buscaron en la casa de los libros, donde guardaban los tesoros allí en Babilonia.

2 Y fué hallado en Achmetta, en el palacio que está en la provincia de Media, un libro, dentro del cual estaba escrito así: Memoria:

3 En el año primero del rey Ciro, el [mismo] rey Ciro dió mandamiento acerca de la casa de Dios que estaba en Jerusalem, que fuese la casa edificada para lugar en que sacrifiquen sacrificios, y que sus paredes fuesen cubiertas; su altura de sesenta codos, y de sesenta codos su anchura;

4 Los órdenes, tres de piedra de mármol, y un orden de madera nueva: y que el gasto sea dado de la casa del rey.

5 Y también los vasos de oro y de plata de la casa de Dios, que Nabucodonosor sacó del templo que estaba en Jerusalem y los pasó á Babilonia, sean devueltos y vayan al templo que está en Jerusalem, á su lugar, y sean puestos en la casa de Dios.
