Response with permission from the Persian governor of Judea, Bagohi, to rebuild the Temple in Elephantine
In response to the request to rebuild the Temple in Elephantine, Bagohi, the Persian governor of Judea replied with favor to the community. His reply can be viewed on the Elephantine Temple Papyrus #4:"Bagohi says: The Altar-house of G-d in Elephantine the fortress may be built as was formerly before Cambyses which Vidranga demolished in the 14th year of Darius the king. Let the meal-offering and the incense they shall offer upon that altar be just as formerly was done."Some speculate that the Jewish Temple was destroyed around the year 390 BCE.
