Ezra 6:15-17

International Children’s Bible

¹⁵ The Temple was finished on the third day of the month Adar. It was the sixth year that Darius was king.

¹⁶ Then the people of Israel celebrated. They gave the Temple to God to honor him. Everybody was happy: the priests, the Levites and the rest of the Jews who had returned from captivity. ¹⁷ This is how they gave the Temple to God for worshiping him: They offered 100 bulls, 200 male sheep and 400 male lambs as sacrifices. And as an offering to forgive the sins of all Israel, they offered 12 male goats. That is 1 goat for each tribe in Israel.
