The Proclamation of Cyrus
22 (A)Now in the first year of Cyrus king of Persia—in order to complete the word of Yahweh (B)by the mouth of Jeremiah—Yahweh (C)stirred up the spirit of Cyrus king of Persia, so that he had a proclamation pass throughout all his kingdom, and also put it in writing, saying, 23 “Thus says Cyrus king of Persia,
‘Yahweh, the God of heaven, has given me all the kingdoms of the earth, and He has appointed me to build Him a house in Jerusalem, which is in Judah. Whoever there is among you of all His people, may Yahweh his God be with him, and let him go up!’”
