MEMORANDUM

³ Date: Cyrus’ first year as king

From: King Cyrus

Subject: God’s temple in Jerusalem

The temple should be rebuilt as a place to offer sacrifices. Its foundation should be laid. It should be 90 feet high and 90 feet wide ⁴ with three rows of large stones and a row of wood. The king’s palace will pay for it.
