Mu mwaka wa mbere wa Kuro umwami wa Peresi, kugira ngo ijambo rya Data wa twese ryavuzwe na Yeremiya risohore, Data wa twese yakanguye umutima wa Kuro umwami wa Peresi, maze yohereza itangazo mu bwami bwe bwose kandi araryandika, ati:

Kuro umwami wa Peresi aravuga atya ati: “Uhoraho Imana y'ijuru yampaye ubwami bwose bwo ku isi, kandi yanshinze kumwubakira inzu i Yeruzalemu mu Buyuda. Umuntu wese muri mwe wo mu bantu be bose, Imana ye nibane na we, azamuke ajye i Yeruzalemu mu Buyuda, yubake inzu y'Uhoraho Imana ya Isiraheli; ni we Mana iri i Yeruzalemu. Usigaye wese, aho atuye hose, abantu b'aho atuye bamufashe ifeza n'izahabu n'ibintu n'amatungo, hamwe n'amaturo y'ubushake azanirwa inzu y'Imana iri i Yeruzalemu.”
