CHAP. VII.

1 Sisinnes and others, helpe forward the building. 5 The Temple is finished, and dedicated. 10 The Passeouer is kept.

¹Then Sisinnes the gouernour of Coelosyria, and Phenice, and Sathrabuzanes, with their companions, following the commandements of king Darius,¹

²Did very carefully ouersee the holy workes, assisting the ancients of the Iewes, & gouernours of the Temple.

³And so the holy workes prospered, when Aggeus, and Zacharias the Prophets prophecied.

⁴And they finished these things, by the commandement of the Lord God of Israel, and with the consent of Cyrus, Darius, and Artaxerxes, kings of Persia.⁴

⁵And thus was the holy house finished, in the three and twentieth day of the moneth Adar, in the sixt yeere of Darius king of the Persians.⁵

⁶And the children of Israel: the Priests, and the Leuites, and other that were of the captiuitie, that were added vnto them, did according to the things written in the booke of Moses.

⁷And to the dedication of the Temple of the Lord, they offered an hundred bullockes, two hundred rammes, foure hundred lambes;

⁸And twelue goats for the sinne of all Israel, according to the number of the chiefe of the tribes of Israel.⁸

⁹The Priests also and the Leuites, stood arayed in their vestments according to their kinreds, in the seruices of the Lord God of Israel, according to the booke of Moses: and the porters at euery gate.⁹

¹⁰And the children of Israel that were of the captiuitie, held the Passeouer the fourteenth day of the first moueth, after that the Priests and the Leuites were sanctified.¹⁰

¹¹They that were of the captiuitie were not all sanctified together: but the Leuites were all sanctified together,

¹²And so they offered the Passeouer for all them of the captiuitie, and for their brethren the Priestes, and for themselues.

¹³And the children of Israel that came out of the captiuitie, did eate, euen all they that had separated themselues from the abominations of the people of the land, and sought the Lord.

¹⁴And they kept the feast of vnleauened bread seuen dayes, making mercy before the Lord,

¹⁵For that he had turned the counsell of the King of Assyria towards them to strengthen their hands in the workes of the Lord God of Israel.¹⁵
