*
And when the seventh month had come ,
and the children of Israel were in the cities ,
the people gathered together as one man to Jerusalem .
*
Then Jeshua the son of Jozadak and his brethren the priests ,
and Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel and his brethren ,
arose and built the altar of the God of Israel ,
to offer burnt offerings on it ,
as it is written in the Law of Moses the man of God .
*
Though fear had come upon them because of the people of those countries ,
they set the altar on its bases ;
and they offered burnt offerings on it to the LORD ,
both the morning and evening burnt offerings .
*
They also kept the Feast of Tabernacles ,
as it is written ,
and offered the daily burnt offerings in the number required by ordinance for each day .
*
Afterwards they offered the regular burnt offering ,
and those for New Moons and for all the appointed feasts of the LORD that were consecrated ,
and those of everyone who willingly offered a freewill offering to the LORD .
*
From the first day of the seventh month they began to offer burnt offerings to the LORD ,
although the foundation of the temple of the LORD had not been laid .
