*
Then Tatnai ,
governor on this side the river ,
Shethar-boznai ,
and their companions ,
because of that which king Darius had sent ,
did so diligently .
*
And the elders of the Jews built ;
and they prospered through the prophesying of Haggai the prophet and Zechariah the son of Iddo .
And they built and completed [
it ]
according to the commandment of the God of Israel ,
and according to the commandment of Cyrus ,
and Darius ,
and Artaxerxes king of Persia .
*
And this house was finished on the third day of the month Adar ,
which was in the sixth year of the reign of king Darius .
*
And the children of Israel ,
the priests and the Levites ,
and the rest of the children of the captivity ,
kept the dedication of this house of God with joy ;
*
and they presented at the dedication of this house of God a hundred bullocks ,
two hundred rams ,
four hundred lambs ,
and for a sin-offering for all Israel ,
twelve he-goats ,
according to the number of the tribes of Israel .
*
And they set the priests in their classes ,
and the Levites in their divisions ,
for the service of God ,
which is at Jerusalem :
as it is written in the book of Moses .
