15Now this 1temple was completed 2on the third day of the 3month 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 4exiles, 5celebrated the dedication of this house of God with joy. 17They offered for the dedication of this temple of God a hundred bulls, two hundred rams, four hundred lambs, and as a sin offering for all Israel 6twelve male goats, corresponding to the number of the tribes of Israel. 18Then they appointed the priests to 7their divisions and the Levites in 8their sections for the service of God in Jerusalem, 9as it is written in the Book of Moses.
