Although this question is just a phrase (rather than a complete sentence), this biblical passage is significant. Ezra 7:21 records the decree of Artaxerxes (son of Xerxes - the Persian King who was defeated by the 300 Spartans with the help of 2,000 Greek troops). At this time, the nation of Israel had been captured and carried off into captivity in Assyria, Babylon, and Persia. However, they were being released and allowed to return to their homeland to rebuild the temple. As part of this return, Artaxerxes issued a decree that his subjects should assist the Jews in their return and rebuilding project. Of note here, Artaxerxes wasn't releasing the Jews because he liked them necessarily. He wanted them to rebuild their temple so that they could pray to "their god" and ask for "his god" to bless him.

Does the bible say Abraham was old and impotent?

There is a verse in Genesis ch.18 in which, after being told that they would have a son, Sarah exclaims that her husband Abraham is already old (he was 100 years old at the time). Impotence is not mentioned openly (concerning Abraham). Soon after, however, (Genesis ch.21) Abraham did have a son (Isaac); and, after Sarah died (Genesis ch.23), he later had six more sons through Keturah (Genesis ch.25).
