1 Esdras 5:69-71
New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised
69 For we obey your Lord just as you do and we have been sacrificing to him ever since the days of King Esar-haddon[a] of the Assyrians, who brought us here.’ 70 But Zerubbabel and Jeshua and the heads of the ancestral houses in Israel said to them, ‘You have nothing to do with us in building the house for the Lord our God, 71 for we alone will build it for the Lord of Israel, as Cyrus, the king of the Persians, has commanded us.’
