在米底亞省亞馬他城的宮內尋得一卷,其中記着說:

並且上帝殿的金銀器皿,就是尼布甲尼撒從耶路撒冷的殿中掠到巴比倫的,要歸還帶到耶路撒冷的殿中,各按原處放在上帝的殿裏。」

好叫他們獻馨香的祭給天上的上帝,又為王和王眾子的壽命祈禱。
11 And from me it is made a decree that every person who he will violate command the this let it be pulled away a beam from house his and [he will] be lifted up let him be impaled on it and house his a refuse-heap let it be made on this.
我再降旨,無論誰更改這命令,必從他房屋中拆出一根樑來,把他舉起,懸在其上,又使他的房屋成為糞堆。

猶大長老因先知哈該和易多的孫子撒迦利亞所說勸勉的話就建造這殿,凡事亨通。他們遵着以色列上帝的命令和波斯王塞魯士、大流士、亞達薛西的旨意,建造完畢。

原來,祭司和利未人一同自潔,無一人不潔淨。利未人為被擄歸回的眾人和他們的弟兄眾祭司,並為自己宰逾越節的羊羔。
21 And they ate [the] people of Israel who had returned from the exile and every [one who] had separated himself from [the] uncleanness of [the] nations of the land to them to seek Yahweh [the] God of Israel.
