Chapter 7

1

THEN Tattenai the governor of Celo Aram and Phoenicia, and Shethar Bozenai, with their companions following the commandments of King Dareyavesh,

2

Did very carefully oversee the holy works, assisting the ancients of the Yahudiym and governors of the Temple.

3

And so the holy works prospered, when Chaggai and Zakaryahu the prophets prophesied.

4

And they finished these things by the commandment of Yahuah Elohiym of Yashar'el, and with the consent of Koresh, Dareyavesh, and Artachshashta, kings of Persia.

5

And thus was the holy house finished in the three and twentieth day of the month Adar, in the sixth year of Dareyavesh king of the Persians

6

And the children of Yashar'el, the priests, and the Leviyiym, and others that were of the captivity, that were added unto them, did according to the things written in the cepher of Mosheh.

7

And to the dedication of the Temple of Yahuah they offered a hundred bullocks two hundred rams, four hundred lambs;

8

And twelve goats for the sin of all Yashar'el, according to the number of the chief of the tribes of Yashar'el.

9

The priests also and the Leviyiym stood arrayed in their vestments, according to their kindreds, in the service of Yahuah Elohiym of Yashar'el, according to the cepher of Mosheh: and the porters at every gate.

10

And the children of Yashar'el that were of the captivity held the Pecach the fourteenth day of the first month, after that the priests and the Leviyiym were sanctified.

11

They that were of the captivity were not all sanctified together: but the Leviyiym were all sanctified together.

12

And so they offered the Pecach for all them of the captivity, and for their brethren the priests, and for themselves.

13

And the children of Yashar'el that came out of the captivity did eat, even all they that had separated themselves from the abominations of the people of the land, and sought Yahuah.

14

And they kept the Feast of Matstsah seven days, making merry before Yahuah,

15

For that he had turned the counsel of the king of Ashshur toward them, to strengthen their hands in the works of Yahuah Elohiym of Yashar'el.
