Ezra 6:16-18

New Catholic Bible

¹⁶ The Israelites—the priests, the Levites, and the remainder of the exiles—celebrated the dedication of this house of God with joy. ¹⁷ For the dedication of this house of God they offered one hundred bulls, two hundred rams, and four hundred lambs, and, as a sin offering for all Israel, twelve male goats, corresponding to the number of the tribes of Israel. ¹⁸ Then they installed the priests in their divisions and the Levites in their divisions for the service of God in Jerusalem, as prescribed in the Book of Moses.
