Strong's King James

The F.O.G *

This house was completed until the third day of the new moon of Adar. It was the sixth year of the kingship of King Daryavesh.


The F.O.G Message *

The temple was completed on March 12, 515 B.C which was the sixth year of King Darius's reign, *70 years as Jeremiah prophesied, and only five years from the prayer of Daniel for his people.


Young's Literal Translation

And this house hath gone out till the third day of the month Adar, that is in the sixth year of the reign of Darius the king.


Ezra 6:15 Notes

*See Daniel chapter 9 for this additional context to the F.O.G Message. It is also interesting to note that 70 in Biblical thought means perfect completion, which in this case was a perfectly righteous judgement of God being completed on the Judeans. The number five means His favourable grace. The biblical scribes are mentioning these dates for readers to meditate on God's greatness as the Righteous Judge over all the earth.
