# Yahweh ... stirred Cyrus' spirit
Here Cyrus is represented by his spirit. This speaks of Yahweh causing Cyrus to want to act as if he "stirred" his spirit. Alternate translation: "Yahweh ... made Cyrus want to act" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-synecdoche]] and [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-metaphor]])
"Yahweh ... made Cyrus want to act". King Cyrus allowed them to return because he wanted them to rebuild the temple. Those who stayed behind gave gifts to those who left to help them on their journey and resettlement, which was a way to maintain peace throughout his kingdom.
# Cyrus' voice went out over his entire kingdom
The voice is a metonym for the message the voice speaks, and the kingdom is a metonym for the people whom a king rules. Alternate translation: "Cyrus sent a message to everyone over whom he ruled" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-metonymy]])
"Cyrus sent a message to everyone over whom he ruled"
# what was written and spoken
This can be translated in active form. It might be best to translate so the reader understands that other people might have helped Cyrus get the message to the people over whom he ruled. Alternate translation: "what Cyrus wrote and what his messengers read so people could hear them" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-activepassive]] and [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-explicit]])
"what Cyrus wrote and what his messengers read so people could hear them"
