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.

Tertullian

c. A.D. 150–220 Patristic

If (Noah) had not had this (conservative power) by so short a route, there would (still) be this (consideration) to warrant our assertion of (the genuineness of) this Scripture: he could equally have renewed it, under the Spirit's inspiration, after it had been destroyed by the violence of the deluge, as, after the destruction of Jerusalem by the Babylonian storming of it, every document of the Jewish literature is generally agreed to have been restored through Ezra.
