Ezra 6:14-18

14And 1the elders of the Jews 2were successful in building through the prophesying of Haggai the prophet and Zechariah the son of Iddo. And 3they finished building according to the command of the God of Israel and the decree 4of Cyrus, 5Darius, and 6Artaxerxes king of Persia. 15This 7temple was completed 8on the third day of the 9month Adar; it was the sixth year of the reign of King Darius.

16And the sons of Israel, the priests, the Levites and the rest of the 10exiles, 11celebrated the dedication of this house of God with joy. 17They offered for the dedication of this temple of God 100 bulls, 200 rams, 400 lambs, and as a sin offering for all Israel 1212 male goats, corresponding to the number of the tribes of Israel. 18Then they appointed the priests to 13their divisions and the Levites in 14their orders for the service of God 15in Jerusalem, 16as it is written in the book of Moses.
