Ezra 6:7
Douay-Rheims
And let that temple of God be built by the governor of the Jews, and by their ancients, that they may build that house of God in its place.
Irenaeus
And there was nothing astonishing in God having done this,-He who, when, during the captivity of the people under Nebuchadnezzar, the Scriptures had been corrupted, and when, after seventy years, the Jews had returned to their own land, then, in the times of Artaxerxes king of the Persians, inspired Esdras the priest, of the tribe of Levi, to recast all the words of the former prophets, and to re-establish with the people the Mosaic legislation.
