Ezra 8:35-36

New Catholic Bible

³⁵ After that, those who had returned from their captivity presented burnt offerings to the God of Israel: twelve bulls for all Israel, ninety-six rams, seventy-two lambs, and, as a sin offering, twelve male goats. All these were presented as a holocaust to the Lord. ³⁶ They also delivered the king’s instructions to the royal satraps and to the governors in West-of-Euphrates who then pledged their support to the people and the house of God.
