[1]And when the seventhH7637 monthH2320 was comeH5060[H8799], and the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 were in the citiesH5892, the peopleH5971 gathered themselves togetherH622[H8735] as oneH259 manH376 to JerusalemH3389.
[2]Then stood upH6965[H8799] JeshuaH3442 the sonH1121 of JozadakH3136, and his brethrenH251 the priestsH3548, and ZerubbabelH2216 the sonH1121 of ShealtielH7597, and his brethrenH251, and buildedH1129[H8799] the altarH4196 of the GodH430 of IsraelH3478, to offerH5927[H8687] burnt offeringsH5930 thereon, as it is writtenH3789[H8803] in the lawH8451 of MosesH4872 the manH376 of GodH430.
[3]And they setH3559[H8686] the altarH4196 upon his basesH4350; for fearH367 was upon them because of the peopleH5971 of those countriesH776: and they offeredH5927[H8686] burnt offeringsH5930 thereon unto the LORDH3068, even burnt offeringsH5930 morningH1242 and eveningH6153.
[4]They keptH6213[H8799] also the feastH2282 of tabernaclesH5521, as it is writtenH3789[H8803], and offered the dailyH3117[H3117] burnt offeringsH5930 by numberH4557, according to the customH4941, as the dutyH1697 of every dayH3117 requiredH3117;
[5]And afterwardH310 offered the continualH8548 burnt offeringH5930, both of the new moonsH2320, and of all the set feastsH4150 of the LORDH3068 that were consecratedH6942[H8794], and of every one that willingly offeredH5068[H8693] a freewill offeringH5071 unto the LORDH3068.
[6]From the firstH259 dayH3117 of the seventhH7637 monthH2320 beganH2490[H8689] they to offerH5927[H8687] burnt offeringsH5930 unto the LORDH3068. But the foundationH3245 of the templeH1964 of the LORDH3068 was not yet laidH3245.[H8795]
[7]They gaveH5414[H8799] moneyH3701 also unto the masonsH2672[H8802], and to the carpentersH2796; and meatH3978, and drinkH4960, and oilH8081, unto them of ZidonH6722, and to them of TyreH6876, to bringH935[H8687] cedarH730 treesH6086 from LebanonH3844 to the seaH3220 of JoppaH3305, according to the grantH7558 that they had of CyrusH3566 kingH4428 of PersiaH6539.
[8]Now in the secondH8145 yearH8141 of their comingH935[H8800] unto the houseH1004 of GodH430 at JerusalemH3389, in the secondH8145 monthH2320, beganH2490[H8689] ZerubbabelH2216 the sonH1121 of ShealtielH7597, and JeshuaH3442 the sonH1121 of JozadakH3136, and the remnantH7605 of their brethrenH251 the priestsH3548 and the LevitesH3881, and all they that were come outH935[H8802] of the captivityH7628 unto JerusalemH3389; and appointedH5975[H8686] the LevitesH3881, from twentyH6242 yearsH8141 oldH1121 and upwardH4605, to set forwardH5329[H8763] the workH4399 of the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068.
[9]Then stoodH5975[H8799] JeshuaH3442 with his sonsH1121 and his brethrenH251, KadmielH6934 and his sonsH1121, the sonsH1121 of JudahH3063, togetherH259, to set forwardH5329[H8763] the workmenH6213[H8802][H4399] in the houseH1004 of GodH430: the sonsH1121 of HenadadH2582, with their sonsH1121 and their brethrenH251 the LevitesH3881.
[10]And when the buildersH1129[H8802] laid the foundationH3245[H8765] of the templeH1964 of the LORDH3068, they setH5975[H8686] the priestsH3548 in their apparelH3847[H8794] with trumpetsH2689, and the LevitesH3881 the sonsH1121 of AsaphH623 with cymbalsH4700, to praiseH1984[H8763] the LORDH3068, after the ordinanceH3027 of DavidH1732 kingH4428 of IsraelH3478.
[11]And they sang together by courseH6030[H8799] in praisingH1984[H8763] and giving thanksH3034[H8687] unto the LORDH3068; because he is goodH2896, for his mercyH2617 endureth for everH5769 toward IsraelH3478. And all the peopleH5971 shoutedH7321[H8689] with a greatH1419 shoutH8643, when they praisedH1984[H8763] the LORDH3068, because the foundationH3245 of the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068 was laidH3245.[H8717]
[12]But manyH7227 of the priestsH3548 and LevitesH3881 and chiefH7218 of the fathersH1, who were ancient menH2205, that had seenH7200[H8804] the firstH7223 houseH1004, when the foundationH3245 of this houseH1004 was laidH3245[H8800] before their eyesH5869, weptH1058[H8802] with a loudH1419 voiceH6963; and manyH7227 shoutedH8643 aloudH7311[H8687] for joyH8057:
[13]So that the peopleH5971 could not discernH5234[H8688] the noiseH6963 of the shoutH8643 of joyH8057 from the noiseH6963 of the weepingH1065 of the peopleH5971: for the peopleH5971 shoutedH7321[H8688] with a loudH1419 shoutH8643, and the noiseH6963 was heardH8085[H8738] afar offH7350.
