Ἐνταῦθα Ζοροβάβελ, σοφίᾳ νικήσας τοὺς ἀνταγωνιστὰς ,
τυγχάνει παρὰ Δαρείου ὠνησάμενος ἀνανέωσιν Ἱερουσαλήμ, καὶ μετὰ Ἔσδρα εἰς τὴν
πατρώαν γῆν ἀναζεύγνυσι, δι' ὃν γίνεται ἡ ἀπολύτρωσις τοῦ λαοῦ, καὶ ὁ τῶν
θεοπνεύστων ἀναγνωρισμὸς, καὶ ἀνακαινισμὸς λογίων, καὶ τὸ σωτήριον ἄγεται
Πάσχα, καὶ λύσις ὀθνείας ἐπιγαμβρίας. Προεκεκηρύχει δὲ καὶ Κῦρος τὴν Ἑβραίων ἀποκατάστασιν.
(Clement of Alexandria, Stromata, Book 1 [PG 8:853])
Here Zerubbabel, having overcome his adversaries by
wisdom, obtains from Darius the restoration of Jerusalem, and, after Ezra,
gathers together the ancestral land—through him the redemption of the people is
effected, and the recognition of the God‑breathed,
and the renewal of words, and salvation is ushered in by Passover, and the
dissolution of the [marital] bond. Moreover, Cyrus also proclaims the
restoration of the Hebrews.
