And in the first year of Koresh, king of Paras, at the consummation of the word of Jeremiah, the L rd roused the spirit of Koresh, king of Paras, and he proclaimed throughout his kingdom, and [he issued the proclamation] in writing, too:

Thus says Koresh king of Paras, The Lord God of heaven has given me all the kingdoms of the earth; and he has charged me to build him a house in Yerushalayim, which is in Yehuda. Whoever is among you of all his people – the Lord his God be with him, and let him go up!

"Thus says Koresh, king of Paras: All the kingdoms of the earth have been given me by the L rd, the G d of the heavens. And He has commanded me to build Him a house in Jerusalem, which is in Judah. Whoever of you is [(one)] of all His people, may the L rd his G d be with him, and let him go up!"
