In the first year of Cyrus king of Persia, Cyrus makes a proclamation that fulfills Jeremiah's prophecy. It is a repetition of the proclamation at the end of Chronicles
God has given me all the kingdoms of the world and he has asked me to build him a temple in Jerusalem. All who are able to go and help may go. And whoever goes should be assisted.
The priests, Levites and people go. Their neighbours give them gifts freely. Cyrus orders the things from the temple which Nebuchadnezzar had stolen be restored to the Jews
