How did Cyrus treat the Hebrew?

Cyrus the Great, the Persian king, is known for his favorable treatment of the Hebrews following his conquest of Babylon in 539 BCE. He issued the Edict of Cyrus, allowing the exiled Jews to return to Jerusalem and rebuild their temple, which was a significant act of religious and cultural restoration. This policy of tolerance and support for local customs helped establish him as a respected figure in Jewish history, earning him the title of "God’s anointed" in the Hebrew Bible.
