Cyrus, though a pagan, proclaimed Jehovah’s Godship when he issued a pronouncement to the Jews in Babylon: “Whoever there is among you of all his people, may his God prove to be with him. So let him go up to Jerusalem, which is in Judah, and rebuild the house of Jehovah the God of Israel ​ — he is the true God — ​ which was in Jerusalem. ”
Kuigi Kyros oli pagan, tunnistas ta siiski, et Jehoova on Jumal, kui ta andis Babülonis olevatele juutidele käsu: „Kes teie hulgas on tema rahvas, sellega olgu tema Jumal ja see mingu Jeruusalemma, mis on Juudamaal, ja ehitagu üles Jehoova, Iisraeli Jumala koda; tema on see [„ tõeline ”, NW] Jumal, kes asub Jeruusalemmas. ”
