36:22 Koresh sends the exiles back to Yehudah

Southern kingdom

22 During the first year that King Koresh (Cyrus) reigned over Paras (Persia), in order to further fulfil what Yahweh had said via the prophet Yirmiyah (Jeremiah), Yahweh worked on the spirit of King Koresh who then wrote this ruling and sent messengers to announce it throughout his kingdom: 23 “I, Paras’s King Koresh, declare that Yahweh, the god of the heavens, has given me all these earthly kingdoms, and he’s given me the job of building a house for him in Yerushalem (Jerusalem), which is in Yehudah (Judah).[ref] To help with that, anyone who’s from there is allowed to return, and may their god Yahweh be with them and help them.

1:1 Koresh returns some Yehudim

1 In the first year that Koresh (Cyrus) was king of Paras (Persia), Yahweh stirred up his spirit in order to fulfil what he’d spoken through the prophet Yirmiyah (Jeremiah).[ref] So the king distributed an official written notice throughout his kingdom, saying, 2 “Koresh, king of Paras, 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 (Jerusalem) in Yehudah (Judah).[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 (Israel’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.
