12:43 Also that day 3117 they offered 2076 8799 great 1419 sacrifices 2077, and rejoiced 8055 8799: for God 430 had made them rejoice 8055 8765 with great 1419 joy 8057: the wives 802 also and the children 3206 rejoiced 8055 8804: so that the joy 8057 of Jerusalem 3389 was heard 8085 8735 even afar off 7350.
