Coresh (the Persian King Cyrus).
Cyrus the Great, the Persian king, allowed the Jews to return to Judah after his conquest of Babylon in 539 BCE. He issued the Edict of Cyrus, which not only permitted the Jews to return to their homeland but also encouraged them to rebuild the Temple in Jerusalem. This act is seen as a significant moment in Jewish history, marking the beginning of the Second Temple period. Cyrus's decree fulfilled biblical prophecies and demonstrated a policy of tolerance towards conquered peoples.
This event is discussed in the Book of Ezra or in the non-Biblical Cyrus Cylinder.
The date often quoted is around 538 BCE. Tradition puts this event around 373 BCE.
