2 E foi achado em Ecbatana, no palácio que está na província de Média, um livro, dentro do qual estava escrito assim: Memórial:

3 No primeiro ano do rei Ciro, o rei Ciro fez decreto acerca da casa de Deus que estava em Jerusalém, que fosse reconstruído a casa, o lugar em que sejam oferecidos sacrifícios, e que suas paredes sejam cobertas; sua altura será de sessenta côvados, e sua largura de sessenta côvados.

4 Com três camadas de grandes pedras, e uma camada de madeira nova e que o gasto seja dado da casa do rei.

5 Além disso, os utensílios de ouro e de prata da casa de Deus, que Nabucodonosor tirou do templo que estava em Jerusalém e levou a Babilônia, sejam devolvidos para irem ao templo que está em Jerusalém, a seu lugar, e sejam postos na casa de Deus.
