Go up to the mountain, and bring wood, and build the house; and I will take pleasure in it, and I will be glorified, saith the LORD.

Haggai 2:2

אֱמָר-נָא אֶל-זְרֻבָּבֶל בֶּן-שַׁלְתִּיאֵל פַּחַת יְהוּדָה וְאֶל-יְהוֹשֻׁעַ בֶּן-יְהוֹצָדָק הַכֹּהֵן הַגָּדוֹל וְאֶל-שְׁאֵרִית הָעָם לֵאמֹֽר׃

Speak now to Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and to Joshua the son of Josedech, the high priest, and to the residue of the people, saying,

Ezra 3:8

וּבַשָּׁנָה הַשֵּׁנִית לְבוֹאָם אֶל-בֵּית הָֽאֱלֹהִים לִירוּשָׁלִַם בַּחֹדֶשׁ הַשֵּׁנִי הֵחֵלּוּ זְרֻבָּבֶל בֶּן-שְׁאַלְתִּיאֵל וְיֵשׁוּעַ בֶּן-יֽוֹצָדָק וּשְׁאָר אֲחֵיהֶם׀ הַכֹּֽהֲנִים וְהַלְוִיִּם וְכָל-הַבָּאִים מֵֽהַשְּׁבִי יְרֽוּשָׁלִַם וַיַּֽעֲמִידוּ אֶת-הַלְוִיִּם מִבֶּן עֶשְׂרִים שָׁנָה וָמַעְלָה לְנַצֵּחַ עַל-מְלֶאכֶת בֵּית-יְהוָֽה׃
8
Now in the second year of their coming unto the house of God at Jerusalem, in the second month, began Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, and Jeshua the son of Jozadak, and the remnant of their brethren the priests and the Levites, and all they that were come out of the captivity unto Jerusalem; and appointed the Levites, from twenty years old and upward, to set forward the work of the house of the LORD.

Zechariah 4:9

יְדֵי זְרֻבָּבֶל יִסְּדוּ הַבַּיִת הַזֶּה וְיָדָיו תְּבַצַּעְנָה וְיָדַעְתָּ כִּֽי-יְהוָה צְבָאוֹת שְׁלָחַנִי אֲלֵיכֶֽם׃
9
The hands of Zerubbabel have laid the foundation of this house; his hands shall also finish it; and thou shalt know that the LORD of hosts hath sent me unto you.

Isaiah 44:28

הָאֹמֵר לְכוֹרֶשׁ רֹעִי וְכָל-חֶפְצִי יַשְׁלִם וְלֵאמֹר לִירוּשָׁלִַם תִּבָּנֶה וְהֵיכָל תִּוָּסֵֽד׃
28
That saith of Cyrus, He is my shepherd, and shall perform all my pleasure: even saying to Jerusalem, Thou shalt be built; and to the temple, Thy foundation shall be laid.

Haggai 1:12

וַיִּשְׁמַע זְרֻבָּבֶל׀ בֶּֽן-שַׁלְתִּיאֵל וִיהוֹשֻׁעַ בֶּן-יְהוֹצָדָק הַכֹּהֵן הַגָּדוֹל וְכֹל׀ שְׁאֵרִית הָעָם בְּקוֹל יְהוָה אֱלֹֽהֵיהֶם וְעַל-דִּבְרֵי חַגַּי הַנָּבִיא כַּאֲשֶׁר שְׁלָחוֹ יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵיהֶם וַיִּֽירְאוּ הָעָם מִפְּנֵי יְהוָֽה׃
12
Then Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, and Joshua the son of Josedech, the high priest, with all the remnant of the people, obeyed the voice of the LORD their God, and the words of Haggai the prophet, as the LORD their God had sent him, and the people did fear before the LORD.

Ezra 4:3

וַיֹּאמֶר לָהֶם זְרֻבָּבֶל וְיֵשׁוּעַ וּשְׁאָר רָאשֵׁי הָֽאָבוֹת לְיִשְׂרָאֵל לֹֽא-לָכֶם וָלָנוּ לִבְנוֹת בַּיִת לֵֽאלֹהֵינוּ כִּי אֲנַחְנוּ יַחַד נִבְנֶה לַֽיהוָה אֱלֹהֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל כַּֽאֲשֶׁר צִוָּנוּ הַמֶּלֶךְ כּוֹרֶשׁ מֶֽלֶךְ-פָּרָֽס׃
3
But Zerubbabel, and Jeshua, and the rest of the chief of the fathers of Israel, said unto them, Ye have nothing to do with us to build an house unto our God; but we ourselves together will build unto the LORD God of Israel, as king Cyrus the king of Persia hath commanded us.

Zechariah 6:1

וָאָשֻׁב וָאֶשָּׂא עֵינַי וָֽאֶרְאֶה וְהִנֵּה אַרְבַּע מַרְכָּבוֹת יֹֽצְאוֹת מִבֵּין שְׁנֵי הֶֽהָרִים וְהֶהָרִים הָרֵי נְחֹֽשֶׁת׃

And I turned, and lifted up mine eyes, and looked, and, behold, there came out four chariots from between two mountains; and the mountains were mountains of brass.
