I will build a temple {\cf2\super [11]} to honor the name of the Lord my God. At the temple we will burn incense {\cf2\super [12]} in front of the Lord, and we will always put the holy bread {\cf2\super [13]} on the special table. We will offer burnt offerings every morning and evening, every Sabbath day, every New Moon, {\cf2\super [14]} and on the other feast days that the Lord our God has commanded us to celebrate. This is a rule for the people of Israel to obey forever.
The people dedicated the wall of Jerusalem. They brought all the Levites to Jerusalem. The Levites came from the towns they lived in. They came to Jerusalem to celebrate the dedication of the wall of Jerusalem. The Levites came to sing songs of praise and thanks to God. They played their cymbals, {\cf2\super [73]} harps, and lyres. {\cf2\super [74]}
But the ruler must give the things needed for the special holy days. The ruler must provide the burnt offerings, the grain offerings, and the drink offerings for the feast days, for the New Moons, for the Sabbaths, and for all the special feasts of the family of Israel. The ruler must give all the sin offerings, grain offerings, burnt offerings, and fellowship offerings that are used to make the family of Israel pure.”
