Thus says Cyrus king of Persia: All the kingdoms of the earth the LORD God of heaven has given me. And He has commanded me to build Him a house at Jerusalem which is in Judah. (Ezra 1:2) {538 BC} But you have departed from the way; You have caused many to stumble at the law. You have corrupted the covenant of Levi, says the LORD of hosts. (Malachi 2:8) { BC}
