Ezra 6:16-18

Good News Translation

¹⁶ Then the people of Israel—the priests, the Levites, and all the others who had returned from exile—joyfully dedicated the Temple. ¹⁷ For the dedication they offered 100 bulls, 200 sheep, and 400 lambs as sacrifices, and 12 goats as offerings for sin, one for each tribe of Israel. ¹⁸ They also organized the priests and the Levites for the Temple services in Jerusalem, according to the instructions contained in the book of Moses.
