By
the seventh month, the Israelites
had
settled
in their
towns
, and
the people assembled
as one man in
Jerusalem.
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.
Then Jeshua son of Jozadak and his fellow
priests, along
with
Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel and his associates
, began
to
build
the altar of the God of Israel to sacrifice
burnt offerings on
it
, as it is written in the Law of Moses the man of God.
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.
They set up
the altar on
its foundation
and
sacrificed
burnt
offerings
on
it
to
the LORD—both
the morning
and evening
burnt offerings —
even though
they
feared
the
people
of
the
land
.
And
they set the altar upon
its base;
for
fear
was
upon
them
because
of
the peoples
of
the countries:
and they
offered
burnt -
offerings thereon
unto
Jehovah,
even burnt-offerings
morning
and
evening
.
They also
celebrated
the Feast of Tabernacles in
accordance
with
what
is written, and they
offered burnt offerings daily
based
on
the
number prescribed
for
each
day .
And
they kept
the feast of tabernacles ,
as
it
is written, and `
offered '
the
daily
burnt -
offerings by
number ,
according
to
the
ordinance,
as
the
duty
of
every
day required;
After
that,
they
presented
the regular
burnt offerings
and those
for
New Moons and for
all the appointed
sacred
feasts of the
LORD
, as
well
as
all
the
freewill offerings
brought
to
the
LORD
.
and
afterward
the continual
burnt -offering,
and `the
offerings'
of
the
new moons ,
and of
all the set
feasts of Jehovah
that
were
consecrated
, and
of
every
one
that
willingly
offered
a
freewill -offering
unto
Jehovah
.
On
the first day of the seventh month ,
the
Israelites
began to offer burnt offerings to
the
LORD,
although
the foundation of the temple of the
LORD
had
not been
laid.
From
the first day of the seventh month began they
to offer burnt -
offerings unto
Jehovah:
but
the foundation of the temple of Jehovah
was
not yet
laid.
They gave money to
the masons and carpenters ,
and food and drink and oil to
the
people
of Sidon and Tyre to bring cedar logs
from Lebanon to Joppa
by
sea, as
authorized
by
Cyrus king of Persia.
They gave money also
unto
the masons ,
and to
the
carpenters ;
and food ,
and drink ,
and oil ,
unto
them
of Sidon ,
and to
them
of
Tyre ,
to bring cedar -trees
from Lebanon to the
sea, unto
Joppa,
according
to
the
grant
that
they
had
of
Cyrus king of Persia.
In the second month
of
the
second
year after
they
had
arrived
at
the house of God in
Jerusalem, Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel, Jeshua son of Jozadak, and the rest of their associates
including
the priests ,
the Levites, and all who
had
returned
to
Jerusalem
from
the captivity, began
the
work.
They
appointed Levites twenty years of
age
or
older
to supervise
the construction
of the house
of the LORD
.
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 rest 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 have
the oversight
of the work
of the house
of
Jehovah
.
So
Jeshua and
his sons and brothers
, Kadmiel and his sons (descendants
of
Yehudah)
, and
the sons of Henadad
and
their
sons
and
brothers—all
Levites—joined
together to supervise
those
working
on
the house of God.
Then
stood
Jeshua with
his sons and his
brethren
, Kadmiel and his sons, the sons of Judah,
together ,
to have
the oversight
of
the
workmen
in
the
house of God :
the
sons
of
Henadad,
with
their
sons
and
their
brethren
the
Levites
.
When the builders had
laid the foundation of the temple of the
LORD
, the priests in their apparel with trumpets, and the Levites (
the sons of Asaph )
with cymbals, took
their
positions
to praise the
LORD
, as
David king of Israel had
prescribed
.
And
when the builders laid the foundation of the temple of Jehovah
, they
set
the priests in their apparel with trumpets, and the Levites the sons of Asaph with cymbals, to praise Jehovah
, after
the
order
of
David king of Israel.
And they sang responsively
with
praise
and
thanksgiving
to the
LORD:
“
For He is good ;
for His loving
devotion
to
Israel endures
forever
. ”
Then
all the people gave
a great shout of
praise
to
the
LORD
, because the foundation of the house of the
LORD
had
been
laid.
And they sang one
to another
in
praising
and
giving
thanks
unto
Jehovah,
`saying',
For he is good ,
for his lovingkindness
`endureth'
for
ever
toward
Israel. And
all the people shouted
with
a great shout, when
they
praised
Jehovah,
because the foundation of the house of Jehovah
was
laid.
But many of the older
priests ,
Levites ,
and family
heads who
had seen the first temple
wept
loudly
when they
saw
the foundation of this temple.
Still
, many others
shouted joyfully.
But many of the priests and
Levites and heads of
fathers'
`houses',
the
old
men
that
had seen the first house,
when the foundation of this house
was
laid
before
their
eyes
, wept
with
a
loud
voice;
and
many shouted aloud
for
joy:
The people could not distinguish
the shouts
of joy from the sound
of weeping ,
because
the people were
making
so
much
noise.
And the sound
was heard from
afar.
so
that
the people could not discern
the noise
of the
shout
of
joy from the noise
of the
weeping of
the people ;
for
the
people
shouted
with
a
loud
shout,
and the noise
was heard afar off
.
