Ezra 3:3-7

3So they set up the altar on its foundation, because 12they were terrified of the peoples of the lands; and they 3offered burnt offerings on it to the Lord, burnt offerings morning and evening. 4They also celebrated the 4Feast of 5Booths, 6as it is written, and offered 7the prescribed number of burnt offerings daily, 8according to the ordinance, 9as each day required; 5and afterward there was a 10continual burnt offering, also 11for the new moons and 12for all the appointed festivals of the Lord that were consecrated, and from everyone who offered a 13voluntary offering to the Lord. 6From the first day of the seventh month they began to offer burnt offerings to the Lord, but the foundation of the temple of the Lord had not been laid. 7Then they gave money to the masons and carpenters, and 14food, drink, and oil to the Sidonians and the Tyrians 15to bring cedar wood from Lebanon to the sea at 16Joppa, according to the permission they had 17from 18Cyrus king of Persia.
