1 Esdras 6:19 In-Context

17 Then, in the first year of his reign as emperor of Babylonia, Cyrus issued orders for the Temple to be rebuilt.
18 He gave back the sacred gold and silver utensils which Nebuchadnezzar had taken from the Temple in Jerusalem and had placed in his own temple in Babylon. Emperor Cyrus turned these utensils over to Zerubbabel and the governor, Sheshbazzar.
19 The Emperor told Sheshbazzar to take them and return them to the Temple in Jerusalem, and to rebuild the Temple where it had stood before.
20 So Sheshbazzar came and laid its foundation, and construction has continued from then until the present, but the Temple is still not finished.'
21 "Now, if it please Your Majesty, have a search made in the royal records in Babylon
