* And when the seventh month drew near , and the children of Israel were in the cities , the people gathered themselves together as one man to Jerusalem . * Then arose Jeshua ’ the son of Jozadak , and his brethren the priests , and Zerubbabel the son of Shealthiel , and his brethren , and they built the altar of the God of Israel , to offer thereon burnt –offerings , as it is written in the law of Moses the man of God . * And they erected the altar upon its foundations ; for there was fear upon them because of the people of these countries ; and they offered thereon burnt –offerings unto the Lord , burnt –offerings at morning and at evening . * And they celebrated the feast of tabernacles , as it is written , and the daily burnt –offerings by number , according to the prescribed manner , the offering of every day on its day ; * And afterward the continual burnt –offering , and that for the new moons , and for all the feasts of the Lord that are hallowed , and that of every one who willingly offered a free –will offering unto the Lord . * From the first day of the seventh month began they to offer burnt –offerings unto the Lord : although the foundation of the temple of the Lord had not yet been laid .
