Ezra 6:16-18

EasyEnglish Bible

¹⁶ Then the Israelite people offered the temple to God, so that he would bless it. The priests, the Levites and the other people who had returned from Babylon were all very happy. ¹⁷ They offered 100 bulls, 200 male sheep and 400 lambs. Then they sacrificed 12 male goats as a sin offering for all Israel. There was one goat for each of the 12 tribes of Israel. ¹⁸ They decided how each group of priests and Levites should work in God's temple in Jerusalem. Moses had written in his book how they should do this.
