Ezra 6:15–19 · Berean Standard Bible

15 And this temple was completed on the third day of the month of Adar, in the sixth year of the reign of King Darius.

16 Then the people of Israel—the priests, the Levites, and the rest of the exiles—celebrated the dedication of the house of God with joy.

17 For the dedication of the house of God they offered a hundred bulls, two hundred rams, four hundred lambs, and a sin offering for all Israel of twelve male goats, one for each tribe of Israel.

18 They also appointed the priests by their divisions and the Levites by their groups to the service of God in Jerusalem, according to what is written in the Book of Moses.

19 On the fourteenth day of the first month, the exiles kept the Passover.
