Ezra 6:1-5 - Darius' Search For The Decree
1 Then Darius the king gave an order and a search was made in the house of the records. This is where the things of value were stored in Babylon. 2 In the great house of the king in the land of Media, at Achmetha they came across a roll. This statement was put on record: 3 In the first year of Cyrus the king, Cyrus the king made an order: In connection with the house of God at Jerusalem, let the house be constructed as the place where they make offerings. Let them brake ground for the foundation. Let it be 90 feet high and 90 feet wide, 4 with three lines of large stones and one line of new wood supports. Let the necessary money be given out of the king's storehouse. 5 And let the gold and silver vessels from the house of God, which Nebuchadnezzar took from the Temple at Jerusalem to Babylon, be given back and taken again to the Temple at Jerusalem, every one in its place, and put them in the house of God.
