Ezra 6:14-22

14So the JewishH3062 eldersH7868 builtH1124 and prosperedH6744 through the prophesyingH5017 of HaggaiH2292 the prophetH5029 and ZechariahH2148 sonH1247 of IddoH5714.

They finishedH3635 buildingH1124 according toH4481 the commandH2942 of the GodH426 of IsraelH3479 and the decreesH2942 of CyrusH3567, DariusH1868, and ArtaxerxesH783, kingsH4430 of PersiaH6540. 15And thisH1836 templeH1005 was completedH3319 onH5705 the thirdH8532 dayH3118 of the monthH3393 of AdarH144H1768H1932,1 in the sixthH8353 yearH8140 of the reignH4437 of KingH4430 DariusH1868.

16Then the peopleH1123 of IsraelH3479—the priestsH3549, the LevitesH3879, and the restH7606 of the exilesH1123H1547—celebratedH5648 the dedicationH2597 of theH1836 houseH1005 of GodH426 with joyH2305.

17For theH1836 dedicationH2597 of the houseH1005 of GodH426 they offeredH7127 a hundredH3969 bullsH8450, two hundredH3969 ramsH1798, fourH703 hundredH3969 lambsH563, and a sin offeringH2409 forH5922 allH3606 IsraelH3479 of twelveH8648H6236H4510 male goatsH6841H5796, one for each tribeH7625 of IsraelH3479.

18They also appointedH6966 the priestsH3549 by their divisionsH6392 and the LevitesH3879 by their groupsH4255 toH5922 the serviceH5673 of GodH426H1768 in JerusalemH3390, according to what is writtenH3792 in the BookH5609 of MosesH4873.

19On the fourteenth dayH702H6240 of the firstH7223 monthH2320, the exilesH1121H1473 keptH6213 the PassoverH6453. 20AllH3605 the priestsH3548 and LevitesH3881H259 had purified themselvesH2891 and were ceremonially cleanH2889.

And the Levites slaughteredH7819 the Passover lambH6453 for allH3605 the exilesH1121H1473, for their priestlyH3548 brothersH251, and for themselves. 21The IsraelitesH1121H3478 who had returnedH7725 from exileH1473 ate itH398, together with allH3605 who had separated themselvesH914 from the uncleannessH2932 of the peoplesH14712 of the landH776 to seekH413H1875 the LORDH3068, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478.

22For sevenH7651 daysH3117 they keptH6213 the FeastH2282 of Unleavened BreadH46823 with joyH8057, becauseH3588 the LORDH3068 had made them joyfulH8055 and turnedH5437 the heartH3820 of the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804 toward themH5921 to strengthenH2388 their handsH3027 in the workH4399 on the houseH1004 of the GodH430 of IsraelH3478.
