3And they setH3559 the altarH4196 uponH5921 itsH5921 base; for fearH367 was uponH5921 them becauseH3588 of the peopleH5971 of the countriesH776: and they offeredH5927 burntH5930 offeringsH3068 thereonH5921 unto the LORDH3068, evenH3588 burntH5930 offeringsH3068 morningH1242 and eveningH6153.

4And they keptH6213 the feastH2282 of tabernacles, as it is writtenH3789, and offered the dailyH3117 burntH5930 offeringsH5930 by numberH4557, accordingH4941 to the ordinanceH4941, as the dutyH1697 of everyH3117 dayH3117 requiredH1697;

6From the firstH259 dayH3117 of the seventhH7637 monthH2320 beganH2490 they to offerH5927 burntH5930 offeringsH3068 unto the LORDH3068: but the foundationH3245 of the templeH1964 of the LORDH3068 was notH3808 yet laidH3245.

7They gaveH5414 moneyH3701 also unto the masonsH2672, and to the carpentersH2796; and meat, and drinkH4960, and oilH8081, unto them of Zidon, and to them of TyreH6876, to bringH935 cedarH730 treesH6086 from LebanonH3844 to the seaH3220, unto JoppaH3305, accordingH5921 to the grantH5414 that they had of CyrusH3566 kingH4428 of PersiaH6539.

8NowH935 in the secondH8145 yearH8141 of their comingH935 unto the houseH1004 of GodH430 at JerusalemH3389, in the secondH8145 monthH2320, beganH2490 ZerubbabelH2216 the sonH1121 of ShealtielH7597, and JeshuaH3442 the sonH1121 of Jozadak, and the restH7605 of their brethrenH251 the priestsH3548 and the LevitesH3881, and allH3605 they that were comeH935 outH5921 of the captivityH7628 unto JerusalemH3389; and appointedH5975 the LevitesH3881, from twentyH6242 yearsH8141 oldH1121 and upwardH4605, to have the oversight of the workH4399 of the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068.
