*
Then stood up Jeshua the son of Jozadak ,
and his brethren the priests ,
and Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel ,
and his brethren ,
and builded the altar of the God of Israel ,
to offer burnt offerings thereon ,
as it is written in the law of Moses the man of God .
*
And they set the altar upon his bases ;
for fear was upon them because of the people of those countries :
and they offered burnt offerings thereon unto the LORD ,
even burnt offerings morning and evening .
*
They kept also the feast of tabernacles ,
as it is written ,
and offered the daily burnt offerings by number ,
according to the custom ,
as the duty of every day required ;
*
And afterward offered the continual burnt offering ,
both of the new moons ,
and of all the set feasts of the LORD that were consecrated ,
and of every one that willingly offered a freewill offering unto the LORD .
*
From the first day of the seventh month began they to offer burnt offerings unto the LORD .
But the foundation of the temple of the LORD was not yet laid .
*
They gave money also unto the masons ,
and to the carpenters ;
and meat ,
and drink ,
and oil ,
unto them of Zidon ,
and to them of Tyre ,
to bring cedar trees from Lebanon to the sea of Joppa ,
according to the grant that they had of Cyrus king of Persia .
*
Now in the second year of their coming unto the house of God at Jerusalem ,
in the second month ,
began Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel ,
and Jeshua the son of Jozadak ,
and the remnant of their brethren the priests and the Levites ,
and all they that were come out of the captivity unto Jerusalem ;
and appointed the Levites ,
from twenty years old and upward ,
to set forward the work of the house of the LORD .
