King James Version
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
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.
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 .
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;
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
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.
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
the LORD .
But
the foundation of the temple of the LORD 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 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.
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 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.
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 set
forward
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 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.
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 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.
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 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
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
.
