5
If any one of you, therefore, is of his people, may his Lord be with him, and let him go up to Jerusalem, which is in Judea, and build the house of the Lord of Israel -- he is the Lord who dwells in Jerusalem,

"Thus says Cyrus king of the Persians: The Lord of Israel, the Lord Most High, has made me king of the world,
4
and he has commanded me to build him a house at Jerusalem, which is in Judea.
5
If any one of you, therefore, is of his people, may his Lord be with him, and let him go up to Jerusalem, which is in Judea, and build the house of the Lord of Israel -- he is the Lord who dwells in Jerusalem,
6
and let each man, wherever he may live, be helped by the men of his place with gold and silver,
7
with gifts and with horses and cattle, besides the other things added as votive offerings for the temple of the Lord which is in Jerusalem."
