Cyrus of Persia sends exiles back to Jerusalem to rebuild the temple

Ezra 1:2 “This is what Cyrus king of Persia says: ‘The Lord, the God of heaven, who has given me all the kingdoms of the earth, has appointed me to build a house for Him at Jerusalem in Judah. 3 Whoever among you belongs to His people, may his God be with him, and may he go to Jerusalem in Judah and build the house of the Lord, the God of Israel; He is the God who is in Jerusalem.
