15:006:001 Then Darius the king made a decree, and search was made in the
           house of the rolls, where the treasures were laid up in
           Babylon.

15:006:002 And there was found at Achmetha, in the palace that is in the
           province of the Medes, a roll, and therein was a record thus
           written: 

15:006:003 In the first year of Cyrus the king the same Cyrus the king
           made a decree concerning the house of God at Jerusalem, Let
           the house be builded, the place where they offered sacrifices,
           and let the foundations thereof be strongly laid; the height
           thereof threescore cubits, and the breadth thereof threescore
           cubits;

15:006:004 With three rows of great stones, and a row of new timber:  and
           let the expenses be given out of the king’s house: 

15:006:005 And also let the golden and silver vessels of the house of
           God, which Nebuchadnezzar took forth out of the temple which
           is at Jerusalem, and brought unto Babylon, be restored, and
           brought again unto the temple which is at Jerusalem, every one
           to his place, and place them in the house of God.

15:006:006 Now therefore, Tatnai, governor beyond the river,
           Shetharboznai, and your companions the Apharsachites, which
           are beyond the river, be ye far from thence: 

15:006:007 Let the work of this house of God alone; let the governor of
           the Jews and the elders of the Jews build this house of God in
           his place.

15:006:008 Moreover I make a decree what ye shall do to the elders of
           these Jews for the building of this house of God:  that of the
           king’s goods, even of the tribute beyond the river, forthwith
           expenses be given unto these men, that they be not hindered.

15:006:009 And that which they have need of, both young bullocks, and
           rams, and lambs, for the burnt offerings of the God of heaven,
           wheat, salt, wine, and oil, according to the appointment of
           the priests which are at Jerusalem, let it be given them day
           by day without fail: 

15:006:010 That they may offer sacrifices of sweet savours unto the God
           of heaven, and pray for the life of the king, and of his sons.

15:006:011 Also I have made a decree, that whosoever shall alter this
           word, let timber be pulled down from his house, and being set
           up, let him be hanged thereon; and let his house be made a
           dunghill for this.

15:006:012 And the God that hath caused his name to dwell there destroy
           all kings and people, that shall put to their hand to alter
           and to destroy this house of God which is at Jerusalem.  I
           Darius have made a decree; let it be done with speed.
