Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

Completion and Dedication of the Temple

¹³ Then, according to the word sent by Dari′us the king, Tat′tenai, the governor of the province Beyond the River, She′thar-boz′enai, and their associates did with all diligence what Dari′us the king had ordered. ¹⁴ And the elders of the Jews built and prospered, through the prophesying of Hag′gai the prophet and Zechari′ah the son of Iddo. They finished their building by command of the God of Israel and by decree of Cyrus and Dari′us and Ar-ta-xerx′es king of Persia; ¹⁵ and this house was finished on the third day of the month of Adar, in the sixth year of the reign of Dari′us the king.
