Its height is to be sixty cubits and its width sixty cubits. 4 It will have three layers of large stone and one layer of new timber. The cost will be paid from the royal treasury. 5 Also, the gold and silver articles of the house of God that Nebuchadnezzar took out of the temple in Jerusalem and brought to Babylon must be returned and brought back to the temple in Jerusalem, each to its rightful place, and deposited into the house of God. 6 Now then, Tattenai, governor of the region Beyond the River, Shethar-Bozenai, and your colleagues, the officials in the province Beyond the River, keep away from there. 7 Leave the work on this house of God alone. Let the governor of the Jews and the elders of the Jews rebuild this house of God on its original site. 8 Moreover, I issue a decree as to what you are to do for these elders of the Jews in the rebuilding of this house of God: The expenses are to be fully paid to these men from the royal treasury from the tributes of the region Beyond the River, so that the work is not hindered. 9 Whatever is needed—young bulls, rams, or lambs for burnt offerings to the God of heaven, as well as wheat, salt, wine, and oil, according to the request of the priests in Jerusalem—must be provided to them daily without fail. 10 So that they may offer pleasing offerings to the God of heaven and pray for the life of the king and his sons. 11 I also issue a decree that if anyone changes this edict, a beam shall be pulled out from his house. He shall be impaled upon it, and his house shall be made into a refuse heap for this violation. 12 May the God who has caused His name to dwell there overthrow any king or people who attempt to alter or destroy this house of God in Jerusalem. I, Darius, have issued this decree. Let it be done diligently. 13 Then Tattenai, governor of the region Beyond the River, Shethar-Bozenai, and their colleagues carried out the decree of King Darius with all diligence. 14 So the elders of the Jews continued building and succeeded through the prophesying of Haggai the prophet and Zechariah, the son of Iddo. They finished building according to the command of the God of Israel and the decrees of Cyrus, Darius, and Artaxerxes, kings of Persia. 15 This temple was completed on the third day of the month of Adar, in the sixth year of the reign of King Darius.

I was very afraid. 3 But I said to the king, "May the king live forever! Why should my face not be sad when the city where my ancestors are buried lies in ruins and its gates have been destroyed by fire?" 4 The king said to me, "What is it you want?" Then I prayed to the God of heaven, 5 and I said to the king, "If it pleases the king, and if your servant has found favor in your sight, send me to Judah, to the city where my ancestors are buried, so that I can rebuild it." 6 Then the king, with the queen sitting beside him, asked me, "How long will your journey take, and when will you return?" It pleased the king to send me, so I set a time. 7 I also said to the king, "If it pleases the king, may letters be given to me for the governors of the region beyond the Euphrates, so they will allow me to pass through until I arrive in Judah, 8 and may I have a letter to Asaph, the keeper of the royal forest, that he might give me timber to make beams for the gates of the fortress by the temple, for the city wall, and for the house I will occupy." And the king granted my requests, because the gracious hand of my God was on me.

Perfect peace, and now: 13 I issue a decree that any willing person from the people of Israel, including the priests and Levites in my kingdom, may go with you to Jerusalem. 14 For you are sent by the king and his seven counselors to inquire about Judah and Jerusalem according to the law of your God, which is in your hand. 15 And to bring the silver and gold that the king and his counselors have freely offered to the God of Israel, whose dwelling is in Jerusalem. 16 Together with all the silver and gold you may find in the whole province of Babylon, as well as the freewill offerings of the people and the priests given for the house of their God in Jerusalem. 17 With this silver, you shall diligently buy bulls, rams, and lambs, along with their grain and drink offerings, and offer them on the altar of the house of your God in Jerusalem. 18 And whatever seems best to you and your brothers to do with the rest of the silver and gold, you may do according to the will of your God. 19 Also, deliver the vessels that are given to you for the service of the house of your God in Jerusalem. 20 And whatever else may be needed for the house of your God that it falls upon you to provide, you may do so from the royal treasury. 21 And I, King Artaxerxes, hereby issue a command to all the treasurers of the region beyond the river: Whatever Ezra the priest, the scribe of the law of the God of heaven, may request of you, it must be done promptly, 22 up to one hundred talents of silver, one hundred cors of wheat, one hundred baths of wine, one hundred baths of oil, and salt without limit. 23 Whatever is commanded by the God of heaven must be carried out diligently for the house of the God of heaven, so that there may not be wrath against the kingdom of the king and his sons. 24 Furthermore, we notify you that it shall not be lawful to impose tribute, tax, or toll on any of the priests, Levites, singers, gatekeepers, temple servants, or other workers in this house of God. 25 And you, Ezra, according to the wisdom of your God that is in your hand, are to appoint judges and magistrates who can judge all the people in the region beyond the River—all those who know the laws of your God. And for anyone who does not know them, you shall teach them. 26 Anyone who does not obey the law of your God and the law of the king shall face judgment promptly, whether it be death, banishment, confiscation of property, or imprisonment.
