Ezra 1:1-4

LITV(i) 1 And in the first year of Cyrus King of Persia, so that the word of Jehovah by the mouth of Jeremiah might be fulfilled, Jehovah stirred up the spirit of Cyrus king of Persia, and he made a proclamation in all his kingdom, and also in writing, saying, 2 So says Cyrus king of Persia, Jehovah God of Heaven has given me all the kingdoms of the earth. And He has commanded me to build Him a house at Jerusalem, which is in Judah. 3 Who is there among you of all His people? His God is with him, and let him go up to Jerusalem, which is in Judah, and build the house of Jehovah, God of Israel (He is God) which is in Jerusalem. 4 And all who remain in any of the places where he resides, let the men of his place lift up him with silver, and with gold, and with property, and with animals, besides the freewill offering for the house of God that is in Jerusalem.
