2 Esdras 10:44-46

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised

⁴⁴ The woman whom you saw is Zion, which you now behold as a city being built.^{[a] 45} And as for her telling you that she was barren for thirty years, the reason is that there were three thousand^[b] years in the world before any offering was offered in it.^{[c] 46} And after three thousand^[d] years Solomon built the city, and offered offerings; then it was that the barren woman bore a son.
