48 and they built the holy place, and the inner parts of the house; and they hallowed the courts.
49 And they made the holy vessels new, and they brought the candlestick, and the altar of burnt offerings and of incense, and the table, into the temple.
50 And they burned incense upon the altar, and they lighted the lamps that were upon the candlestick, and they gave light in the temple.
51 And they set loaves upon the table, and spread out the veils, and finished all the works which they made.
52 And they rose up early in the morning, on the five and twentieth day of the ninth month, which is the month Chislev, in the hundred and forty and eighth year,
53 and offered sacrifice according to the law upon the new altar of burned offerings which they had made.
54 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.
