Ezra 6:2-4

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

² And at Ecbatana in the capital in the province of Media, a scroll was found on which this was recorded:

³ In the first year of King Cyrus, [he] made a decree: Concerning the house of God in Jerusalem, let the house, the place where they offer sacrifices, be built, and let its foundations be strongly laid, its height and its breadth each 60 cubits,

⁴ With three courses of great stones and one course of new timber. Let the cost be paid from the royal treasury.
