EZR-3:1 And when the seventh month was come, and the children
of Israel
[were] in the cities, the people gathered themselves together as
one man to
Jerusalem.
EZR-3:2 Then stood up Jeshua the son of Jozadak, and his
brethren the
priests, and Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, and his brethren,
and builded
the altar of the God of Israel, to offer burnt offerings thereon,
as [it is]
written in the law of Moses the man of God.
EZR-3:3 And they set the altar upon his bases; for fear [was]
upon them
because of the people of those countries: and they offered burnt
offerings
thereon unto the LORD, [even] burnt offerings morning and
evening.
EZR-3:4 They kept also the feast of tabernacles, as [it is]
written, and
[offered] the daily burnt offerings by number, according to the
custom, as the
duty of every day required;
EZR-3:5 And afterward [offered] the continual burnt offering,
both of the new
moons, and of all the set feasts of the LORD that were
consecrated, and of
every one that willingly offered a freewill offering unto the
LORD.
EZR-3:6 From the first day of the seventh month began they to
offer burnt
offerings unto the LORD. But the foundation of the temple of the
LORD was not
[yet] laid.
EZR-3:7 They gave money also unto the masons, and to the
carpenters; and
meat, and drink, and oil, unto them of Zidon, and to them of
Tyre, to bring
cedar trees from Lebanon to the sea of Joppa, according to the
grant that they
had of Cyrus king of Persia.
EZR-3:8 Now in the second year of their coming unto the house
of God at
Jerusalem, in the second month, began Zerubbabel the son of
Shealtiel, and
Jeshua the son of Jozadak, and the remnant of their brethren the
priests and
the Levites, and all they that were come out of the captivity
unto Jerusalem;
and appointed the Levites, from twenty years old and upward, to
set forward
the work of the house of the LORD.
EZR-3:9 Then stood Jeshua [with] his sons and his brethren,
Kadmiel and his
sons, the sons of Judah, together, to set forward the workmen in
the house of
God: the sons of Henadad, [with] their sons and their brethren
the Levites.
EZR-3:10 And when the builders laid the foundation of the
temple of the LORD,
they set the priests in their apparel with trumpets, and the
Levites the sons
of Asaph with cymbals, to praise the LORD, after the ordinance
of David king
of Israel.
EZR-3:11 And they sang together by course in praising and
giving thanks unto
the LORD; because [he is] good, for his mercy [endureth] for
ever toward
Israel. And all the people shouted with a great shout, when they
praised the
LORD, because the foundation of the house of the LORD was laid.
EZR-3:12 But many of the priests and Levites and chief of the
fathers, [who
were] ancient men, that had seen the first house, when the
foundation of this
house was laid before their eyes, wept with a loud voice; and
