14 E os anciãos dos judeus iam edificando e prosperando, pela profecia do profeta Ageu, e de Zacarias filho de Ido. E edificaram, e terminaram a construção conforme o mandamento do Deus de Israel, e conforme o mandamento de Ciro e de Dario, e de Artaxerxes rei da Pérsia.

15 E esta casa foi terminada ao terceiro dia do mês de Adar, que era o sexto ano do reinado do rei Dario.

16 E os filhos de Israel, os sacerdotes e os levitas, e os demais dos que vieram do cativeiro, fizeram a consagração desta casa de Deus com alegria.

17 E ofereceram para a consagração desta casa de Deus cem novilhos, duzentos carneiros, quatrocentos cordeiros; e doze cabritos por expiação do pecado de todo Israel, segundo o número das tribos de Israel.

18 E puseram aos sacerdotes em suas divisões, e aos levitas em seus grupos, para o serviço a Deus, que está em Jerusalém, conforme o que está escrito no livro de Moisés.
