This is still a very early look into the unfinished text of the Open English Translation of the Bible. Please double-check the text in advance before using in public.
1 In the first year that Koresh (Cyrus) was king of Persia (Heb. Paras), Yahweh stirred up his spirit in order to fulfil what he’d spoken through the prophet Yirmeyah (Jeremiah).[ref] So the king distributed a written proclamation throughout his kingdom, saying, 2 “Koresh, king of Persia, declares this: Yahweh, the god of heaven, has given me all the kingdoms in the world, and he’s appointed me to build a residence for him in Yerushalem in Yehudah.[ref] 3 Anyone among you who’s one of his followers is free to go to Yerushalem (in Yehudah) to help build a temple there for Yisrael’s God Yahweh—the god of Yerushalem. May God go with you. 4 Those who live near these people but who are not going themselves, should donate gold and silver, and goods and livestock, plus cash as a voluntary offering for God’s temple in Yerushalem.
