"Thus says Cyrus king of Persia, 'The LORD, the God of heaven, has given me all the kingdoms of the earth; and he has commanded me to build him a house in Jerusalem, which is in Judah.

and made known to them your holy Sabbath, and commanded them commandments, and statutes, and a law, by Moses your servant,
