1 Then following the Commands of Sovereign Dareyawesh, Tattenai the governor of Koĕlĕ-Suria and Phoinikĕ, and Shethar-Bozenai, with their companions,
2 oversaw the qodesh works, diligently assisting the elders of the Yahuḏim and governors of the Hĕyḵal.
3 And so the qodesh works prospered, when Ḥaggai and Zeḵaryah the neḇi’im naḇa.
4 And they completed these by the Command of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 Elohim of Yisra’ĕl, and with the consent of Koresh, Dareyawesh, and Artaḥshashta, sovereigns of Paras;
5 and so, the qodesh House was finished in the twenty-third day of the month Aḏar, in the sixth year of Dareyawesh sovereign of Paras.
6 And the children of Yisra’ĕl, the kohenim and the Lĕwites and others who were of the captivity that were added to them, did according to the words written in the Book of Mosheh.
7 And for the dedication of the Hĕyḵal of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 they offered a hundred bulls, two hundred rams, four hundred lambs
8 and twelve goats for the sin of all Yisra’ĕl, according to the number of the heads of the tribes of Yisra’ĕl.
9 The kohenim and the Lĕwites also stood dressed in their garments, according to their clans, in the service of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 Elohim of Yisra’ĕl, according to the Book of Mosheh; and the gatekeepers at every gate.
10 And the children of Yisra’ĕl who were of the captivity held the Pesaḥ the fourteenth day of the first month, after the kohenim and the Lĕwites were qadosh.
11 Those who were of the captivity were not all qadosh together; but the Lĕwites were all qadosh together,
12 and so they offered the Pesaḥ for all those of the captivity, and for their brothers the kohenim, and for themselves.
13 And the children of Yisra’ĕl that came out of the captivity ate, even all those who had separated themselves from the abominations of the people of the land, and sought 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄.
14 And they performed the Feast of Matstsoth seven days, rejoicing before 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄,
15 for He had turned the counsel of the sovereign of Ashshur toward them, to strengthen their hands in the works of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 Elohim of Yisra’ĕl.
