By
the seventh month, the Israelites
had
settled
in their
towns
, and
the people assembled
as one man in
Jerusalem.
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 brothers
the
priests, and
Zerubbabel the
son of Shealtiel ,
and his brothers
, and
built
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
.
They set the altar on its base;
for
fear
was
on them
because
of
the peoples
of
the countries:
and they
offered
burnt offerings thereon
to
Yahweh,
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
the feast of tents,
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 Yahweh
that
were
consecrated
, and
of
everyone
who
willingly
offered
a
freewill -offering
to Yahweh
.
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 to Yahweh:
but
the foundation of the temple of Yahweh
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
to the masons ,
and to
the
carpenters ;
and food ,
and drink ,
and oil ,
to them
of Sidon ,
and to
them
of
Tyre ,
to bring cedar trees
from Lebanon to the
sea, to
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
to
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 brothers
the priests and
the Levites, and all those
who were
come
out
of
the captivity to
Jerusalem
, and
appointed the
Levites ,
from
twenty years old
and
upward,
to have
the oversight
of the work
of the house
of
Yahweh
.
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
brothers, 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
brothers 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
.
When the builders laid the foundation of the temple of Yahweh
, they
set
the priests in their clothing
with trumpets, and the Levites the sons of Asaph with cymbals, to praise Yahweh
, 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.
They sang one
to
another
in
praising
and giving
thanks
to Yahweh,
[saying],
For he is good ,
for his loving kindness
endures forever toward
Israel
. All the people shouted
with
a great shout, when
they
praised
Yahweh,
because the foundation of the house of Yahweh
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
who 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
.
