Ezra 4:21

4:21 Now give orders that these men cease their work and that this city not be rebuilt until such time as I so instruct. ¹ 

Ezra 5:13

5:13 But in the first year of King Cyrus of Babylon, ²  King Cyrus enacted a decree to rebuild this temple of God.

[4:21]  ¹ tn Aram “until a command is issued from me.”

[5:13]  ² sn Cyrus was actually a Persian king, but when he conquered Babylon in 539 b.c. he apparently appropriated to himself the additional title “king of Babylon.” The Syriac Peshitta substitutes “Persia” for “Babylon” here, but this is probably a hyper-correction.
