Contextual Overview
1 Then King Darius had men look through the books which were kept in Babylon. 2 And in Ecbatana, the most important city in the land of Media, a book was found in which was written: 3 "In the first year of King Cyrus, Cyrus the king said that this was to be done about the house of God at Jerusalem: ‘Let the house of God, the place where burnt gifts are given in worship, be built again with a good base. It should be sixteen times taller than a man, and as wide as thirty long steps. 4 There should be three very large stones laid on the top of each other, and then one large piece of wood laid. Let it be paid for from the king's money. 5 Let the gold and silver objects which Nebuchadnezzar took from the house of God in Jerusalem and brought to Babylon be returned to their places in the house of God in Jerusalem. You must put them in the house of God.' 6 "So now, Tattenai, leader over the land on the other side of the River, Shethar-bozenai, and your friends who are leaders in the lands on the other side of the River, stay away from there. 7 Leave this work on the house of God alone. Let the leaders of the Jews build this house of God again where it stood before. 8 Also, I am making it known what you are to do for these leaders of Judah for the building of this house of God. All of it is to be paid for from the king's money out of the taxes from the lands on the other side of the River. And waste no time to get it to them. 9 Be sure to give them each day whatever is needed, young bulls, rams and lambs for a burnt gift to the God of heaven, and grain, salt, wine, and oil for pouring. 10 This is so they may give pleasing gifts in worship to the God of heaven and pray for the life of the king and his sons.
