Young's Literal Translation
By
the seventh month, the Israelites
had
settled
in their
towns
, and the people assembled
as one man
in
Jerusalem.
And
the seventh month cometh
, and
the sons
of
Israel
`are'
in the
cities
, and the people are
gathered,
as one men,
unto
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.
And
rise
doth
Jeshua son of Jozadak ,
and his brethren
the
priests, and
Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel ,
and his brethren
, and
they
build the altar of the God of Israel ,
to cause
to
ascend
upon
it
burnt -
offerings, 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 establish
the altar on its bases,
because
of
the
fear
upon
them
of
the
peoples
of
the
lands,
and he
causeth
burnt -
offerings to
ascend
upon
it to Jehovah,
burnt -
offerings for
the morning
and
for
the 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 make
the feast of the
booths
as
it
is written, and the
burnt -offering
of
the day
daily
in
number according
to
the
ordinance,
the
matter
of
a
day in
its
day;
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
after this
a
continual
burnt -offering,
and for new moons ,
and for all appointed seasons
of Jehovah
that
are
sanctified;
and
for
every
one
who
is
willingly
offering
a
willing-offering
to 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 they
have
begun
to cause
burnt -
offerings to ascend
to
Jehovah
, and
the temple of Jehovah
hath
not been founded,
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.
and
they give
money to hewers
and to
artificers
, and food ,
and drink ,
and oil to Zidonians
and to Tyrians,
to
bring in
cedar -trees
from Lebanon unto
the
sea of
Joppa
, according
to
the
permission
of
Cyrus king of Persia concerning
them
.
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
.
And
in the second year of
their
coming
in
unto
the house of God ,
to
Jerusalem, in
the
second
month,
began
Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel, and
Jeshua son of Jozadak, and the remnant
of their brethren
the priests and
the Levites, and all those
coming
from the captivity to
Jerusalem
, and
they appoint
the
Levites from
a
son
of
twenty years and
upward,
to overlook
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
.
And
Jeshua standeth,
`
and '
his sons ,
and his
brethren
, Kadmiel and his sons ,
sons
of Judah
together
, to
overlook
those
doing
the work
in
the
house
of
God;
the
sons of Henadad ,
`
and '
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
those
building
have
founded
the temple of Jehovah
, and
they
appoint
the priests ,
clothed,
with trumpets, and the Levites ,
sons of Asaph ,
with cymbals, to praise Jehovah
, by
means
of
`the
instruments
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 respond
in
praising
and in
giving
thanks
to Jehovah,
for good ,
for to the
age
His
kindness
`is'
over
Israel ,
and
all the people have
shouted
--
a great shout --
in
giving
praise to Jehovah
, because the house of Jehovah
hath
been founded
.
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.
And
many of the priests, and
the
Levites, and the
heads of
the
fathers,
the
aged
men
who had seen the first house
--
in
this house
being
founded
before
their
eyes
--
are
weeping
with
a
loud
voice
, and
many with
a
shout,
in
joy,
lifting
up
the
voice;
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
.
and
the people are
not discerning
the noise
of the
shout
of
joy from the noise
of the
weeping of
the
people
, for
the people are
shouting
--
a
great
shout
--
and the noise
hath
been
heard unto
a
distance
.
