Kung Kores låter folket återvända
1 Under den persiske kungen Kores första regeringsår uppfylldes Jeremias profetia om Israels återkomst från fångenskapen i Babylon och templets återuppbyggnad. Herren rörde vid kung Kores, som sände ut detta meddelande i hela sitt rike och även i skriftlig form:
2 Jag Kores, kung av Persien, förklarar härmed att Herren, himlens Gud, som har gett mig mitt stora imperium, nu har befallt mig att bygga ett tempel åt honom i Jerusalem i Juda land.
3 Alla av hans folk kan nu återvända till Jerusalem för att bygga upp hans tempel, och Herren, som är Israels och Jerusalems Gud, ska välsigna er!
4 Och de som stannar kvar ska hjälpa dem som vill återvända med silver och guld, boskap, utrustning för resan och en frivillig gåva till templet i Jerusalem.
5 Gud rörde vid ledarna för Judas och Benjamins stammar och prästerna och leviterna och gav dem en stark längtan att omedelbart återvända till Jerusalem för att bygga upp templet igen.
6 Alla deras grannar gav dem den hjälp de kunde och dessutom gåvor till templet.
7 Kung Kores själv lämnade ifrån sig de guldskålar och andra värdefulla saker som kung Nebukadnessar hade tagit från templet i Jerusalem och ställt upp i sina egna gudars tempel.
8 Han bad sin skattmästare Mitredat att överlämna dessa gåvor till Sesbassar, som var ledare för de landsflyktiga från Judas stam.
9-10 Kores lämnade ifrån sig bl a följande saker:1.000 guldbrickor, 1.000 silverbrickor, 29 rökelsekar, 30 guldskålar, 2.410 silverskålar (av samma utseende som guldskålarna), 1.000 andra föremål.
11 Tillsammans överlämnades över 5.400 guld- och silverföremål till Sesbassar, för att han skulle ta dem med sig till Jerusalem.
Ezra 1
Orthodox Jewish Bible
1 Now in the first year [539 B.C.E.] of Koresh Melech Paras (Persia), that the Devar Hashem by the mouth of Yirmeyah might be fulfilled, Hashem stirred up the ruach of Koresh Melech Paras (Persia), so that he made a proclamation throughout all his Malchut, and put it also in writing, saying,
2 Thus saith Koresh Melech Paras (Persia), Hashem Elohei HaShomayim hath given me all the kingdoms of ha’aretz; and he hath charged me to build him Beis [Hamikdash] at Yerushalayim, which is in Yehudah.
3 Who is there among you of all His people, Elohav be with him, let him go up to Yerushalayim, which is in Yehudah, and build the Beis Hashem Elohei Yisroel, (He is HaElohim) which is in Yerushalayim.
4 And whosoever remaineth in any place where he sojourneth, let the men of his place help him with kesef, and with zahav, and with goods, and with livestock, beside the nedavah (freewill offering) for the Beis HaElohim that is in Yerushalayim.
5 Then rose up the chief of the avot of Yehudah and Binyamin, and the kohanim, and the Levi’im, with all them whose ruach HaElohim had stirred up, to go up to build the Beis Hashem which is in Yerushalayim.
6 And all they that were about them did strengthen their hands with vessels of kesef, with zahav, with goods, and with livestock, and with precious things, in addition to all their nedavot (freewill offerings).
7 Also HaMelech Koresh brought forth the vessels of the Beis Hashem, which Nevuchadnetzar had carried off out of Yerushalayim, and had put them in the bais (temple) of his g-ds;
8 Even those did Koresh Melech Paras (Persia) bring forth by the hand of Mitredat the treasurer, and counted them unto Sheshbatzar, the Nasi of Yehudah.
9 And this is the number of them; thirty basins of zahav, a thousand basins of kesef, nine and twenty knives,
10 Thirty bowls of zahav, kesef basins of a second kind four hundred and ten, and other vessels one thousand.
11 All the vessels of zahav and of kesef were five thousand and four hundred. All these did Sheshbatzar bring up with them of the Golus that were brought up from Bavel unto Yerushalayim.

End of the Babylonian Captivity(A)
1 Now in the first year of Cyrus king of Persia, that the word of the Lord (B)by the mouth of Jeremiah might be fulfilled, the Lord stirred up the spirit of Cyrus king of Persia, (C)so that he made a proclamation throughout all his kingdom, and also put it in writing, saying,
2 Thus says Cyrus king of Persia:
All the kingdoms of the earth the Lord God of heaven has given me. And He has (D)commanded me to build Him a [a]house at Jerusalem which is in Judah. 3 Who is among you of all His people? May his God be with him, and let him go up to Jerusalem which is in Judah, and build the house of the Lord God of Israel (E)(He is God), which is in Jerusalem. 4 And whoever is left in any place where he dwells, let the men of his place help him with silver and gold, with goods and livestock, besides the freewill offerings for the house of God which is in Jerusalem.
5 Then the heads of the fathers’ houses of Judah and Benjamin, and the priests and the Levites, with all whose spirits (F)God [b]had moved, arose to go up and build the house of the Lord which is in Jerusalem. 6 And all those who were around them [c]encouraged them with articles of silver and gold, with goods and livestock, and with precious things, besides all that was (G)willingly offered.
7 (H)King Cyrus also brought out the articles of the house of the Lord, (I)which Nebuchadnezzar had taken from Jerusalem and put in the [d]temple of his gods; 8 and Cyrus king of Persia brought them out by the hand of Mithredath the treasurer, and counted them out to (J)Sheshbazzar the prince of Judah. 9 This is the number of them: thirty gold platters, one thousand silver platters, twenty-nine knives, 10 thirty gold basins, four hundred and ten silver basins of a similar kind, and one thousand other articles. 11 All the articles of gold and silver were five thousand four hundred. All these Sheshbazzar took with the captives who were brought from Babylon to Jerusalem.
