Ezra 3:2-8

2Then stoodH6965 up JeshuaH3442 the sonH1121 of Jozadak, and his brethren the priestsH3548, and ZerubbabelH2216 the sonH1121 of ShealtielH7597, and his brethren, and builtH1129 the altarH4196 of the 1GodH430 of IsraelH3478, to offerH5927 up burnt-offerings on it, as it is writtenH3789 in the lawH8451 of MosesH4872 the manH376 of 2GodH430.

3And they set the altarH4196 on its base; for fear was upon them because of the peopleH5971 of the countries; and they offeredH5927 up burnt-offerings on it to Jehovah, the morningH1242 and eveningH6153 burnt-offerings.

4And they held the feastH2282 of tabernacles as it is writtenH3789, and [offered] daily burnt-offerings by numberH4557, according to the ordinanceH4941, as the duty of every dayH3117 required;

5and afterwards the continual burnt-offering, and those of the newH2320 moonsH2320, and of all the setH6942 feastsH4150 of Jehovah that were consecratedH6942, and of every one that willingly offeredH5068 a voluntary offeringH5071 to Jehovah.

6From the first dayH3117 of the seventhH7637 monthH2320 they beganH2490 to offerH5927 up burnt-offerings to Jehovah. But the foundation of the templeH1964 of Jehovah was not [yet] laid.

7And they gaveH5414 moneyH3701 to the masons and to the carpenters; and meat and drinkH4960 and oilH8081 to the Zidonians and to the TyriansH6876, to bringH935 cedar-trees from LebanonH3844 to the seaH3220 at JoppaH3305, according to the grant that they had of CyrusH3566 kingH4428 of PersiaH6539.

8And in the secondH8145 yearH8141 of their comingH935 to the houseH1004 of 3GodH430 at JerusalemH3389, in the secondH8145 monthH2320, beganH2490 ZerubbabelH2216 the sonH1121 of ShealtielH7597, and JeshuaH3442 the sonH1121 of Jozadak, and the remnantH7605 of their brethren the priestsH3548 and the LevitesH3881, and all they that had comeH935 out of the captivityH7628 to JerusalemH3389; and they appointedH5975 the LevitesH3881, from twentyH6242 yearsH8141 old and upwardH4605, to superintend the workH4399 of the houseH1004 of Jehovah.
