1 By the seventh month the people of Israelwere all settled in their towns. Then they all assembled in Jerusalem, 2 Ex 27.1and Joshua son of Jehozadak, his fellow priests, and Zerubbabelson of Shealtiel, together with his relatives, rebuilt the altar of the God of Israel, so that they could burn sacrifices on it according to the instructions written in the Law of Moses, the man of God. 3 Nu 28.1-8Even though3.3: Even though; or Because.the returning exiles were afraid of the people who were living in the land, they rebuilt the altar where it had stood before. Then they began once again to burn on it the regular morning and evening sacrifices. 4 Nu 29.12-38They celebrated the Festival of Shelters according to the regulations; each day they offered the sacrifices required for that day; 5 Nu 28.11—29.39and in addition they offered the regular sacrifices to be burned whole and those to be offered at the New Moon Festival and at all the other regular assemblies at which the Lordis worshiped, as well as all the offerings that were given to the Lordvoluntarily. 6 Although the people had not yet started to rebuild the Temple, they began on the first day of the seventh month to burn sacrifices to the Lord.
The Rebuilding of the Temple Begins
7 The people gave money to pay the stonemasons and the carpenters and gave food, drink, and olive oil to be sent to the cities of Tyreand Sidonin exchange for cedar trees from Lebanon, which were to be brought by sea to Joppa. All this was done with the permission of Emperor Cyrusof Persia. 8 So in the second month of the year after they came back to the site of the Temple in Jerusalem, they began work. Zerubbabel, Joshua, and the rest of their people, the priests, and the Levites, in fact all the exiles who had come back to Jerusalem, joined in the work. All the Levites twenty years of age or older were put in charge of the work of rebuilding the Temple. 9 The Levite Jeshuaand his sons and relatives, and Kadmieland his sons (the clan of Hodaviah3.9: Probable text (see 2.40) Hodaviah; Hebrew Judah.) joined together in taking charge of the rebuilding of the Temple. (They were helped by the Levites of the clan of Henadad.)
10 1 Ch 25.1When the builders started to lay the foundation of the Temple, the priests in their robes took their places with trumpets in their hands, and the Levites of the clan of Asaphstood there with cymbals. They praised the Lordaccording to the instructions handed down from the time of King David. 11 1 Ch 16.34;2 Ch 5.13;7.3;Ps 100.5;106.1;107.1;118.1;136.1;Jr 33.11They sang the Lord's praises, repeating the refrain:
"The Lordis good, and his love for Israel is eternal."
Everyone shouted with all their might, praising the Lord, because the work on the foundation of the Temple had been started. 12 Tb 14.5Many of the older priests, Levites, and heads of clans had seen the first Temple, and as they watched the foundation of this Temple being laid, they cried and wailed. But the others who were there shouted for joy. 13 No one could distinguish between the joyful shouts and the crying, because the noise they made was so loud that it could be heard for miles.
