2 Chronicles 36:22
20 He deported to Babylon all who escaped the sword. They served him and his sons until the Persian kingdom rose to power. 21 This took place to fulfill the Lord’s message spoken through Jeremiah and lasted until the land experienced its sabbatical years. All the time of its desolation the land rested in order to fulfill the seventy years. 22 In the first year of King Cyrus of Persia, in fulfillment of the Lord’s message spoken through Jeremiah, the Lord motivated King Cyrus of Persia to issue a proclamation throughout his kingdom and also to put it in writing. It read: 23 “This is what King Cyrus of Persia says: ‘The Lord God of heaven has given me all the kingdoms of the earth. He has appointed me to build a temple for him in Jerusalem, which is in Judah. Anyone of his people among you may go up there, and may the Lord his God be with him.’”
Ezra 1:1
1 In the first year of King Cyrus of Persia, in fulfillment of the Lord’s message spoken through Jeremiah, the Lord motivated King Cyrus of Persia to issue a proclamation throughout his kingdom and also to put it in writing. It read: 2 “This is what King Cyrus of Persia says: “‘The Lord God of heaven has given me all the kingdoms of the earth. He has appointed me to build a temple for him in Jerusalem, which is in Judah. 3 Anyone of his people among you (may his God be with him!) may go up to Jerusalem, which is in Judah, and may build the temple of the Lord God of Israel—he is the God who is in Jerusalem.
Notes and References
"... Finally, I come to the Joseph story as conceived by the author of the present combined P / non-P text. As is often the case for this conflator, he followed P’s lead. In this case, the P / non-P conflator features a clear scroll-division between the ancestoral story and Exodus-Moses story, preserving the beginning of the separate P scroll in Exodus 1:1–6 (also probably most of 1:7). Notably, this scroll-division in the P / non-P composition may have allowed this conflator of P and non-P to depart from a pattern seen elsewhere in his work in his treatment of parallel death notices for specific figures in P and non-P. Elsewhere, this conflator appears to have left aside parallel death notices for major figures such as Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, preserving only the Priestly versions. In the case of Joseph, the RP conflator preserved both of Joseph’s death notices, using the non-P death notice for Joseph to conclude the Genesis scroll in Genesis 50:26, while preserving the P death notice for Joseph in Exodus 1:6 as part of the P block introducing a P / non-P Exodus scroll (Exodus 1:1–6). The result of this compositional move was the above-noted incipit-like phenomenon used elsewhere in the ancient Near East to bridge parts of a single composition that is written on multiple scrolls or tablets. Though the non-P and P death notices are not the closer duplicates typically used to join scrolls like 2 Chronicles (36:22–23) and Ezra (1:1–4), they serve a similar function in connecting the stories in Genesis and Exodus now preserved on separate written media ..."
