Der wunderbare Orden des Königs von Persien

The Israelites had been exiled to Babylon for seventy years, and they thought day and night of their distant homeland and the ruined Temple. At that time, the heart of Cyrus, the Persian king, was miraculously moved by God, and he issued a decree that not only permitted the Israelites to return to Jerusalem to rebuild the Temple, but also returned the gold and silver vessels that had been taken from the Temple. God stirred the hearts of many people, and with hope and gratitude they set out on the journey back to their homeland, while the surrounding neighbors willingly gave gold, silver and other goods to help them.
