Ezra 6:14-16

International Standard Version

Progress and Completion

¹⁴ And so the Jewish leaders continued their building, and prospered because of the prophecies of Haggai the prophet and Iddo’s son Zechariah. They completed the rebuilding in accordance with the commandment from the God of Israel and the edicts of Cyrus, Darius, and Artaxerxes, king of Persia. ¹⁵ The Temple was completed on the third day of the month Adar during the sixth year of the reign of King Darius.

¹⁶ The Israelis—the priests, the descendants of Levi, and the other related descendants who had returned from captivity—celebrated with joy at the dedication of the Temple of God.
