However, the Greek Septuagint uses the name Κῦρος (Kuros) for Cyrus.<p><span class="tophdg">Usage: </span>The name "Koresh" refers to Cyrus the Great, the founder of the Achaemenid Empire, who is recognized in the Bible as a significant figure used by God to fulfill His purposes. Cyrus is noted for his decree allowing the Jewish exiles to return to Jerusalem and rebuild the temple, as prophesied by Isaiah.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>Cyrus the Great (c. 600–530 BC) was a prominent Persian king known for his military conquests and benevolent rule. He established one of the largest empires in history, stretching from the Aegean Sea to the Indus River. His policies of tolerance and respect for local customs and religions were revolutionary for his time. In the biblical narrative, Cyrus is depicted as an instrument of God's will, chosen to facilitate the return of the Jewish people to their homeland after the Babylonian exile.<div
