Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Of Persian originCorresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • G2958 Κῦρος (Kuros): The Greek equivalent of the Hebrew name Koresh, used in the Septuagint and the New Testament to refer to Cyrus. Usage: The name Koresh appears in the Hebrew Bible as the name of Cyrus the Great, the Persian king who played a significant role in the history of the Jewish people, particularly in the context of the Babylonian exile and the subsequent return to Jerusalem. Context: Koresh, known in English as Cyrus, was the founder of the Achaemenid Empire and is recognized for his significant impact on the Jewish people during the 6th century BCE. He is most notably mentioned in the books of Isaiah, Ezra, and 2 Chronicles. Cyrus is celebrated for his decree that allowed the Jewish exiles to return to Jerusalem and rebuild the Temple, an event that marked the end of the Babylonian captivity. This decree is recorded in Ezra 1:1-4, where it states, "In the first year of Cyrus king of Persia, to fulfill the word of the LORD spoken through Jeremiah, the LORD stirred the spirit of Cyrus king of Persia to send a proclamation throughout his kingdom and to put it in writing: 'This is what Cyrus king of Persia says: The LORD, the God of heaven, has given me all the kingdoms of the earth and has appointed me to build a house for Him at Jerusalem in Judah. Whoever among you belongs to His people, may his God be with him, and may he go to Jerusalem in Judah and build the house of the LORD, the God of Israel. He is the God who is in Jerusalem.'"
