 3:1 ¶ And when the seventh 7637 month 2320 was come, 5060 z8799 and the children 1121 of Israel 3478 [were] in the cities, 5892 the people 5971 gathered themselves together 622 z8735 as one 259 man 376 to x413 Jerusalem. 3389

 3:2 Then stood up 6965 z8799 Jeshua 3442 the son 1121 of Jozadak, 3136 and his brethren 251 the priests, 3548 and Zerubbabel 2216 the son 1121 of Shealtiel, 7597 and his brethren, 251 and builded 1129 z8799 x853 the altar 4196 of the God 430 of Israel, 3478 to offer 5927 z8687 burnt offerings 5930 thereon, x5921 as [it is] written 3789 z8803 in the law 8451 of Moses 4872 the man 376 of God. 430

 3:3 And they set 3559 z8686 the altar 4196 upon x5921 his bases; 4350 for x3588 fear 367 [was] upon x5921 them because of the people 5971 x4480 of those countries: 776 and they offered 5927 z8686 burnt offerings 5930 thereon x5921 unto the LORD, 3068 [even] burnt offerings 5930 morning 1242 and evening. 6153

 3:4 They kept 6213 z8799 also x853 the feast 2282 of tabernacles, 5521 as [it is] written, 3789 z8803 and [offered] the daily 3117 burnt offerings 5930 by number, 4557 according to the custom, 4941 as the duty 1697 of every day 3117 required; y3117

 3:5 And afterward 310 [offered] the continual 8548 burnt offering, 5930 both of the new moons, 2320 and of all x3605 the set feasts 4150 of the LORD 3068 that were consecrated, 6942 z8794 and of every one x3605 that willingly offered 5068 z8693 a freewill offering 5071 unto the LORD. 3068

 3:6 From the first y259 day 3117 x4480 x259 of the seventh 7637 month 2320 began 2490 z8689 they to offer 5927 z8687 burnt offerings 5930 unto the LORD. 3068 But the foundation 3245 z0 of the temple 1964 of the LORD 3068 was not x3808 [yet] laid. y3245 z8795

 3:7 They gave 5414 z8799 money 3701 also unto the masons, 2672 z8802 and to the carpenters; 2796 and meat, 3978 and drink, 4960 and oil, 8081 unto them of Zidon, 6722 and to them of Tyre, 6876 to bring 935 z8687 cedar 730 trees 6086 from x4480 Lebanon 3844 to x413 the sea 3220 of Joppa, 3305 according to the grant 7558 that they had of Cyrus 3566 king 4428 of Persia. 6539

 3:8 ¶ Now in the second 8145 year 8141 of their coming 935 z8800 unto x413 the house 1004 of God 430 at Jerusalem, 3389 in the second 8145 month, 2320 began 2490 z8689 Zerubbabel 2216 the son 1121 of Shealtiel, 7597 and Jeshua 3442 the son 1121 of Jozadak, 3136 and the remnant 7605 of their brethren 251 the priests 3548 and the Levites, 3881 and all x3605 they that were come x935 out y935 z8802 of the captivity 7628 x4480 unto Jerusalem; 3389 and appointed 5975 z8686 x853 the Levites, 3881 from twenty y6242 years y8141 old 1121 x4480 x6242 x8141 and upward, 4605 to set x5329 forward y5329 z8763 x5921 the work 4399 of the house 1004 of the LORD. 3068

 3:9 Then stood 5975 z8799 Jeshua 3442 [with] his sons 1121 and his brethren, 251 Kadmiel 6934 and his sons, 1121 the sons 1121 of Judah, 3063 together, 259 to set x5329 forward y5329 z8763 x5921 the workmen 6213 4399 z8802 in the house 1004 of God: 430 the sons 1121 of Henadad, 2582 [with] their sons 1121 and their brethren 251 the Levites. 3881

 3:10 And when the builders 1129 z8802 laid the foundation 3245 z8765 of x853 the temple 1964 of the LORD, 3068 they set 5975 z8686 the priests 3548 in their apparel 3847 z8794 with trumpets, 2689 and the Levites 3881 the sons 1121 of Asaph 623 with cymbals, 4700 to praise 1984 z8763 x853 the LORD, 3068 after x5921 the ordinance 3027 of David 1732 king 4428 of Israel. 3478

 3:11 And they sang together by course 6030 z8799 in praising 1984 z8763 and giving thanks 3034 z8687 unto the LORD; 3068 because x3588 [he is] good, 2896 for x3588 his mercy 2617 [endureth] for ever 5769 toward x5921 Israel. 3478 And all x3605 the people 5971 shouted 7321 z8689 with a great 1419 shout, 8643 when they praised 1984 z8763 the LORD, 3068 because x5921 the foundation y3245 z0 of the house y1004 of the LORD y3068 was laid. 3245 z8717 x1004 x3068

 3:12 But many 7227 of the priests 3548 x4480 and Levites 3881 and chief 7218 of the fathers, 1 [who were] ancient men, 2205 that x834 had seen 7200 z8804 x853 the first 7223 house, 1004 when the foundation y3245 z0 of this house y1004 was laid 3245 z8800 x2088 x1004 before their eyes, 5869 wept 1058 z8802 with a loud 1419 voice; 6963 and many 7227 shouted y8643 aloud 7311 z8687 x8643 x6963 for joy: 8057

 3:13 So that the people 5971 could not x369 discern 5234 z8688 the noise 6963 of the shout 8643 of joy 8057 from the noise 6963 of the weeping 1065 of the people: 5971 for x3588 the people 5971 shouted 7321 z8688 with a loud 1419 shout, 8643 and the noise 6963 was heard 8085 z8738 afar off. 7350 x5704 x4480
