Thus saith Cyrus king of Persia: All the kingdoms of the earth hath the Lord, the God of heaven, given me; and He hath charged me to build Him a house in Jerusalem, which is in Judah. Whosoever there is among you of all His people, the Lord his God be with him, let him go up.
כֹּה אָמַר כּוֹרֶשׁ מֶלֶךְ פָּרַס, כָּל מַמְלְכוֹת הָאָרֶץ נָתַן לִי יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵי הַשָּׁמַיִם, וְהוּא פָקַד עָלַי לִבְנוֹת לוֹ בַיִת בִּירוּשָׁלִַם אֲשֶׁר בִּיהוּדָה: מִי בָכֶם מִכָּל עַמּוֹ יְהוָה אֱלֹהָיו עִמּוֹ, וְיָעַל.
