A vast empire that came to rule over Israel after the exile, replacing Babylon's control. King Cyrus of Persia decreed that the Jews could return to rebuild Jerusalem and the temple, returning the gold vessels taken by Nebuchadnezzar. Later Persian kings issued laws affecting the Jews' freedom to worship and observe their law.

"But Zerubbabel, and Jeshua, and the rest of the heads of fathers’ households of Israel, said to them, “You have nothing to do with us in building a house to our God; but we ourselves together will build to Yahweh, the God of Israel, as king Cyrus the king of Persia has commanded us.”"
