Ezra 6:13-22

13ThenH116 Tatnai, governorH6347 on this side the riverH5103, Shethar-boznai, and their companions, because of that which kingH4430 DariusH1868 had sent, did so diligentlyH629. 14And the eldersH7868 of the JewsH3062 builtH1124; and they prosperedH6744 through the prophesying of HaggaiH2292 the prophetH5029 and ZechariahH2148 the sonH1247 of IddoH5714. And they builtH1124 and completed [it] accordingH4481 to the commandment of the 1GodH426 of IsraelH3479, and accordingH4481 to the commandment of CyrusH3567, and DariusH1868, and ArtaxerxesH783 kingH4430 of PersiaH6540. 15And this houseH1005 was finished on the third dayH3118 of the month Adar, which was in the sixth yearH8140 of the reignH4437 of kingH4430 DariusH1868. 16And the children of IsraelH3479, the priestsH3549 and the LevitesH3879, and the restH7606 of the children of the captivity, kept the dedicationH2597 of this houseH1005 of 2GodH426 with joy; 17and they presented at the dedicationH2597 of this houseH1005 of 3GodH426 a hundredH3969 bullocks, two hundredH3969 ramsH1798, fourH703 hundredH3969 lambsH563, and for a sin-offering for all IsraelH3479, twelve he-goats, according to the number of the tribes of IsraelH3479. 18And they setH6966 the priestsH3549 in their classes, and the LevitesH3879 in their divisions, for the service of 4GodH426, which is at JerusalemH3390: as it is written in the bookH5609 of Moses. 19And the children of the captivity held the passoverH6453 upon the fourteenth of the firstH7223 monthH2320. 20For the priestsH3548 and the LevitesH3881 had purifiedH2891 themselves as oneH259 [man]: they were all pureH2889; and they killed the passoverH6453 for all the children of the captivity, and for their brethren the priestsH3548, and for themselves. 21And the children of IsraelH3478 that were come backH7725 out of captivity, and all such as had separatedH914 themselves to them from the filthiness of the nationsH1471 of the landH776, to seekH1875 Jehovah the 5GodH430 of IsraelH3478, did eatH398; 22and they kept the feastH2282 of unleavenedH4682 breadH4682 sevenH7651 daysH3117 with joyH8057; for Jehovah had madeH6213 them joyful, and turnedH5437 the heartH3820 of the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804 to them, to strengthenH2388 their handsH3027 in the workH4399 of the houseH1004 of 6GodH430, the 7GodH430 of IsraelH3478.
