C. THE OLD WORSHIP RESTORED

And they offered sacrifice according to the law upon the new altar of

burnt offerings which they had made. At what time and on what day the

Gentiles had profaned it, even on that day was it dedicated afresh, with

songs and harps and lutes, and with cymbals. And all the people fell

upon their faces, and worshipped, and gave praise unto heaven, which had

given them good success. And they kept the dedication of the altar eight

days, and offered burnt offerings with gladness, and sacrificed a

sacrifice of deliverance and praise. And there was exceeding great

gladness among the people, and the reproach of the Gentiles was turned

away.
