Ezra 3:10-13

10And when the buildersH1129 laid the foundationH3245 of the templeH1964 of YhwhH3068, they setH5975 the priestsH3548 in their apparelH3847 with trumpetsH2689, and the LevitesH3881 the sonsH1121 of AsaphH623 with cymbalsH4700, to praiseH1984 YhwhH3068, after the ordinanceH3027 of DavidH1732 kingH4428 of IsraelH3478.

11And they sang together by courseH6030 in praisingH1984 and giving thanksH3034 unto YhwhH3068; because he is goodH2896, for his mercyH2617 endureth for everH5769 toward IsraelH3478. And all the peopleH5971 shoutedH7321 with a greatH1419 shoutH8643, when they praisedH1984 YhwhH3068, because the foundationH3245 of the houseH1004 of YhwhH3068 was laidH3245.

12But manyH7227 of the priestsH3548 and LevitesH3881 and chiefH7218 of the fathersH1, who were ancient menH2205, that had seenH7200 the firstH7223 houseH1004, when the foundationH3245 of this houseH1004 was laidH3245 before their eyesH5869, weptH1058 with a loudH1419 voiceH6963; and manyH7227 shoutedH8643 aloudH7311 for joyH8057:

13So that the peopleH5971 could not discernH5234 the noiseH6963 of the shoutH8643 of joyH8057 from the noiseH6963 of the weepingH1065 of the peopleH5971: for the peopleH5971 shoutedH7321 with a loudH1419 shoutH8643, and the noiseH6963 was heardH8085 afar offH7350.
