Ezra 6:17-19

International Children’s Bible

¹⁷ This is how they gave the Temple to God for worshiping him: They offered 100 bulls, 200 male sheep and 400 male lambs as sacrifices. And as an offering to forgive the sins of all Israel, they offered 12 male goats. That is 1 goat for each tribe in Israel. ¹⁸ Then they put the priests and the Levites into their separate groups. Each group had a certain time to serve God in the Temple at Jerusalem. This was done just as it is written in the Book of Moses.

The Passover

¹⁹ The Jews who returned from captivity celebrated the Passover. This was on the fourteenth day of the first month.
