Ezra 6:14-16

EasyEnglish Bible

¹⁴ So the leaders of the Jews continued to build the temple. The work went very well. They listened to the messages from God that the prophet Haggai and Iddo's grandson, Zechariah, were teaching them. They finished building the temple. Israel's God had commanded them to do that. Cyrus, Darius and Artaxerxes, the kings of Persia, had also commanded them to do it. ¹⁵ They finished building the temple on the third day of Adar month. King Darius had then been king for six years.

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.
