Ezra 3:8-13

8In the secondH8145 monthH2320 of the secondH8145 yearH8141 after they had arrivedH935 atH413 the houseH1004 of GodH430 in JerusalemH3389, ZerubbabelH2216 sonH1121 of ShealtielH7597, JeshuaH3442 sonH1121 of JozadakH3136, and the restH7605 of their associatesH251 including the priestsH3548, the LevitesH3881, and allH3605 who had returnedH935 to JerusalemH3389 from the captivityH7628, beganH2490 the work. They appointedH5975 LevitesH3881 twentyH6242 years of ageH1121H8141 or olderH4605 to superviseH5329H5921 the constructionH4399 of the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068. 9So JeshuaH3442 and his sonsH1121 and brothersH251, KadmielH6934 and his sonsH1121 (descendantsH1121 of YehudahH3063),1 and the sonsH1121 of HenadadH2582 and their sonsH1121 and brothersH251—all LevitesH3881—joinedH5975 togetherH259 to superviseH5329H5921 those workingH6213H4399 on the houseH1004 of GodH430.

10When the buildersH1129 had laid the foundationH3245 of the templeH1964 of the LORDH3068, the priestsH3548 in their apparelH3847 with trumpetsH2689, and the LevitesH3881 (the sonsH1121 of AsaphH623) with cymbalsH4700, took their positionsH5975 to praiseH1984 the LORDH3068, asH5921 DavidH1732 kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 had prescribedH3027. 11And they sang responsivelyH6030 with praiseH1984 and thanksgivingH3034 to the LORDH3068:

Then allH3605 the peopleH5971 gave a greatH1419 shoutH7321H8643 of praiseH1984 to the LORDH3068, because the foundationH5921 of the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068 had been laidH3245.

12But manyH7227 of the olderH2205 priestsH3548, LevitesH3881, and familyH1 headsH7218 whoH834 had seenH7200 the firstH7223 templeH1004 weptH1058 loudlyH6963H1419 when they sawH5869 the foundationH3245 of thisH2088 templeH1004. Still, manyH7227 others shoutedH8643H7311 joyfullyH6963H8057. 13The peopleH5971 could notH369 distinguishH5234 the shoutsH6963H8643 of joyH8057 from the soundH6963 of weepingH1065, becauseH3588H5971 the peopleH5971 were making so much noiseH7321H8643H1419. And the soundH6963 was heardH8085 fromH5704 afarH7350.
