The temple dedication

6:13 The temple dedication

13Then Tattenai, the governor of the region west of the Euphrates, Shetar-Bozenai, and their companions worked hard to follow the instructions sent by King Dareyavesh (Darius). 14So the Jewish elders continued building, and they were encouraged by the prophesying of the prophet Haggai and Iddo’s son Zekaryah. As a result of the decrees of the Persian kings Koresh, and Dareyavesh and Artahshasta, they were able to fulfil God’s decree to rebuild the temple.[ref] 15The rebuilt temple was finished in mid-March in the sixth year of King Dareyavesh’s reign.

16Then the Israeli people, the priests, and the Levites, and the ones that had returned from exile, performed the dedication of this house of God with celebrations. 17During the dedication, they offered a hundred bulls, two-hundred rams, and four-hundred lambs, as well as twelve male goats for a sin offering for all Yisrael (matching the number of the tribes). 18Then they organised the priests to stand in their divisions and the Levites in their sections to serve the God who resides in Yerushalem, according to the instructions written by Mosheh (Moses).
