² Finally, a scroll^[a] was found in Ecbatana, the capital of Media Province, and it said:

This official record will show ³ that in the first year Cyrus was king, he gave orders to rebuild God's temple in Jerusalem, so that sacrifices and offerings could be presented there.^[b] It is to be built 27 meters high and 27 meters wide, ⁴ with one^[c] row of wooden beams for each three rows of large stones. The royal treasury will pay for everything.
