Ezra 1:5-7

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

⁵ Then rose up the heads of the fathers’ houses of Judah and Benjamin, and the priests and the Levites, every one whose spirit God had stirred to go up to rebuild the house of the Lord which is in Jerusalem; ⁶ and all who were about them aided them with vessels of silver, with gold, with goods, with beasts, and with costly wares, besides all that was freely offered. ⁷ Cyrus the king also brought out the vessels of the house of the Lord which Nebuchadnez′zar had carried away from Jerusalem and placed in the house of his gods.
