| 3:1 | And when the seventh <07637> month <02320> was come <05060> (8799), and the children <01121> of Israel <03478> [were] in the cities <05892>, the people <05971> gathered themselves together <0622> (8735) as one <0259> man <0376> to Jerusalem <03389>. |
| 3:2 | Then stood up <06965> (8799) Jeshua <03442> the son <01121> of Jozadak <03136>, and his brethren <0251> the priests <03548>, and Zerubbabel <02216> the son <01121> of Shealtiel <07597>, and his brethren <0251>, and builded <01129> (8799) the altar <04196> of the God <0430> of Israel <03478>, to offer <05927> (8687) burnt offerings <05930> thereon, as [it is] written <03789> (8803) in the law <08451> of Moses <04872> the man <0376> of God <0430>. {Jeshua: also called, Joshua} {Zerubbabel: Gr. Zorobabel} {Shealtiel: Gr. Salathiel} |
| 3:3 | And they set <03559> (8686) the altar <04196> upon his bases <04350>; for fear <0367> [was] upon them because of the people <05971> of those countries <0776>: and they offered <05927> (8686) burnt offerings <05930> thereon unto the LORD <03068>, [even] burnt offerings <05930> morning <01242> and evening <06153>. |
| 3:4 | They kept <06213> (8799) also the feast <02282> of tabernacles <05521>, as [it is] written <03789> (8803), and [offered] the daily <03117> <03117> burnt offerings <05930> by number <04557>, according to the custom <04941>, as the duty <01697> of every day <03117> required <03117>; {as the duty...: Heb. the matter of the day in his day} |
| 3:5 | And afterward <0310> [offered] the continual <08548> burnt offering <05930>, both of the new moons <02320>, and of all the set feasts <04150> of the LORD <03068> that were consecrated <06942> (8794), and of every one that willingly offered <05068> (8693) a freewill offering <05071> unto the LORD <03068>. |
| 3:6 | From the first <0259> day <03117> of the seventh <07637> month <02320> began <02490> (8689) they to offer <05927> (8687) burnt offerings <05930> unto the LORD <03068>. But the foundation <03245> (0) of the temple <01964> of the LORD <03068> was not [yet] laid <03245> (8795). {the foundation...: Heb. the temple of the LORD was not yet founded} |
| 3:7 | They gave <05414> (8799) money <03701> also unto the masons <02672> (8802), and to the carpenters <02796>; and meat <03978>, and drink <04960>, and oil <08081>, unto them of Zidon <06722>, and to them of Tyre <06876>, to bring <0935> (8687) cedar <0730> trees <06086> from Lebanon <03844> to the sea <03220> of Joppa <03305>, according to the grant <07558> that they had of Cyrus <03566> king <04428> of Persia <06539>. {carpenters: or, workmen} |
| 3:8 | Now in the second <08145> year <08141> of their coming <0935> (8800) unto the house <01004> of God <0430> at Jerusalem <03389>, in the second <08145> month <02320>, began <02490> (8689) Zerubbabel <02216> the son <01121> of Shealtiel <07597>, and Jeshua <03442> the son <01121> of Jozadak <03136>, and the remnant <07605> of their brethren <0251> the priests <03548> and the Levites <03881>, and all they that were come out <0935> (8802) of the captivity <07628> unto Jerusalem <03389>; and appointed <05975> (8686) the Levites <03881>, from twenty <06242> years <08141> old <01121> and upward <04605>, to set forward <05329> (8763) the work <04399> of the house <01004> of the LORD <03068>. |
| 3:9 | Then stood <05975> (8799) Jeshua <03442> [with] his sons <01121> and his brethren <0251>, Kadmiel <06934> and his sons <01121>, the sons <01121> of Judah <03063>, together <0259>, to set forward <05329> (8763) the workmen <06213> (8802) <04399> in the house <01004> of God <0430>: the sons <01121> of Henadad <02582>, [with] their sons <01121> and their brethren <0251> the Levites <03881>. {Judah: also called, Hodaviah} {together: Heb. as one} |
| 3:10 | And when the builders <01129> (8802) laid the foundation <03245> (8765) of the temple <01964> of the LORD <03068>, they set <05975> (8686) the priests <03548> in their apparel <03847> (8794) with trumpets <02689>, and the Levites <03881> the sons <01121> of Asaph <0623> with cymbals <04700>, to praise <01984> (8763) the LORD <03068>, after the ordinance <03027> of David <01732> king <04428> of Israel <03478>. |
| 3:11 | And they sang together by course <06030> (8799) in praising <01984> (8763) and giving thanks <03034> (8687) unto the LORD <03068>; because [he is] good <02896>, for his mercy <02617> [endureth] for ever <05769> toward Israel <03478>. And all the people <05971> shouted <07321> (8689) with a great <01419> shout <08643>, when they praised <01984> (8763) the LORD <03068>, because the foundation <03245> (0) of the house <01004> of the LORD <03068> was laid <03245> (8717). |
| 3:12 | But many <07227> of the priests <03548> and Levites <03881> and chief <07218> of the fathers <01>, [who were] ancient men <02205>, that had seen <07200> (8804) the first <07223> house <01004>, when the foundation <03245> (0) of this house <01004> was laid <03245> (8800) before their eyes <05869>, wept <01058> (8802) with a loud <01419> voice <06963>; and many <07227> shouted <08643> aloud <07311> (8687) for joy <08057>: |
| 3:13 | So that the people <05971> could not discern <05234> (8688) the noise <06963> of the shout <08643> of joy <08057> from the noise <06963> of the weeping <01065> of the people <05971>: for the people <05971> shouted <07321> (8688) with a loud <01419> shout <08643>, and the noise <06963> was heard <08085> (8738) afar off <07350>. |
