3 In the first year of King Cyrus (possess the furnace), he issued a decree concerning the house of God in Jerusalem (city of peace): Let the house be rebuilt as a place for offering sacrifices, and let its foundations be firmly laid. It is to be sixty cubits high and sixty cubits wide <90 ft / 27.4 m>, 4 with three layers of cut stones and one of timbers. The costs are to be paid from the royal treasury. 5 Furthermore, the gold and silver articles of the house of God, which Nebuchadnezzar (may Nebo protect the crown) took from the temple in Jerusalem (city of peace) and carried to Babylon (confusion by mixing), must also be returned to the temple in Jerusalem and deposited in the house of God.
