Chapter 3 And when the seventh month was
come, and the children of Israel were in

00:05.400 --> 00:09.380
the cities, the people gathered themselves
together as one man to Jerusalem.

00:10.460 --> 00:14.500
Then stood up Jeshua the son of Josedach,
and his brethren the priests, and

00:14.500 --> 00:18.300
Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel,
and his brethren, and builded the altar of

00:18.300 --> 00:22.380
the God of Israel, to offer burnt
offerings thereon, as it is written in the

00:22.380 --> 00:24.000
law of Moses, the man of God.

00:24.460 --> 00:28.880
And they set the altar upon his bases,
for fear was upon them because of the

00:28.880 --> 00:29.820
people of those countries.

00:30.440 --> 00:34.580
And they offered burnt offerings thereon
unto the Lord, even burnt offerings

00:34.580 --> 00:35.620
morning and evening.

00:36.140 --> 00:40.440
They kept also the feast of tabernacles,
as it is written, and offered the daily

00:40.440 --> 00:44.680
burnt offerings by number, according to
the custom, as the duty of every day

00:44.680 --> 00:45.180
required.

00:45.820 --> 00:49.660
And afterward offered the continual burnt
offering, both of the new moons,

00:50.020 --> 00:54.000
and of all the set feasts of the Lord that
were consecrated, and of every one that

00:54.000 --> 00:56.580
willingly offered a freewill offering unto
the Lord.

00:57.420 --> 01:01.120
From the first day of the seventh month
began they to offer burnt offerings unto

01:01.120 --> 01:05.060
the Lord, but the foundation of the temple
of the Lord was not yet laid.

01:05.780 --> 01:09.400
They gave money also unto the masons,
and to the carpenters, and meat,

01:09.580 --> 01:14.040
and drink, and oil, unto them of Zidon,
and to them of Tyre, to bring cedar trees

01:14.040 --> 01:17.660
from Lebanon to the sea of Joppa,
according to the grant that they had of

01:17.660 --> 01:18.660
Cyrus king of Persia.

01:19.260 --> 01:22.420
Now in the second year of their coming
unto the house of God at Jerusalem,

01:22.760 --> 01:26.820
in the second month began Zerubbabel the
son of Shealtiel, and Jeshua the son of

01:26.820 --> 01:30.040
Josedach, and the remnant of their
brethren the priests and the Levites,

01:30.400 --> 01:34.840
and all they that will come out of the
captivity unto Jerusalem, and appointed

01:34.840 --> 01:38.960
the Levites, from twenty years old and
upward, to set forward the work of the

01:38.960 --> 01:39.620
house of the Lord.

01:40.400 --> 01:44.240
Then stood Jeshua with his sons and his
brethren, Cadmiel and his sons,

01:44.600 --> 01:48.460
the sons of Judah, together, to set
forward the workmen in the house of God,

01:49.360 --> 01:52.660
the sons of Henedad with their sons and
their brethren the Levites.

01:53.280 --> 01:56.860
And when the builders laid the foundation
of the temple of the Lord, they set the

01:56.860 --> 02:00.880
priests in their apparel with trumpets,
and the Levites the sons of Asaph with

02:00.880 --> 02:05.180
cymbals, to praise the Lord after the
ordinance of David king of Israel.

02:05.920 --> 02:09.760
And they sang together by course in
praising and giving thanks unto the Lord.

02:10.040 --> 02:13.900
Because he is good, for his mercy endureth
forever toward Israel.

02:13.900 --> 02:17.540
And all the people shouted with a great
shout when they praised the Lord,

02:17.820 --> 02:20.140
because the foundation of the house of the
Lord was laid.

02:20.700 --> 02:24.420
But many of the priests and Levites and
chief of the fathers, who were ancient men

02:24.420 --> 02:28.000
that had seen the first house,
when the foundation of this house was laid

02:28.000 --> 02:30.580
before their eyes, wept with a loud voice.

02:31.120 --> 02:35.420
And many shouted aloud for joy,
so that the people could not discern the

02:35.420 --> 02:38.500
noise of the shout of joy from the noise
of the weeping of the people.

02:39.000 --> 02:43.140
For the people shouted with a loud shout,
and the noise was heard afar off.
