13 However, (A)in the first year of Cyrus king of Babylon, King Cyrus (B)issued a decree to rebuild this house of God. 14 Also (C)the gold and silver utensils of the house of God which Nebuchadnezzar had taken from the temple (a)in Jerusalem, and brought them to the temple of Babylon, these King Cyrus took from the temple of Babylon and they were given to one (D)whose name was Sheshbazzar, whom he had appointed governor. 15 He said to him, “Take these utensils, go and deposit them in the temple (b)in Jerusalem and let the house of God be rebuilt in its place.”
