AND when the seventh month was come, and the children of Yashar'el were in the cities, the people gathered themselves together as one man to Yerushalayim.
Then stood up Yahusha the son of Yahutsadaq, and his brethren the priests, and Zerubbavel the son of She'altiy'el, and his brethren, and built the altar of the Elohiym of Yashar'el, to offer ascending smoke offerings thereon, as it is written in the Torah of Mosheh the man of Elohiym.
And they set the altar upon his bases; for fear was upon them because of the people of those countries: and they offered ascending smoke offerings thereon unto Yahuah, even ascending smoke offerings morning and evening.
They kept also the Feast of Cukkoth, as it is written, and offered the daily ascending smoke offerings by number, according to the custom, as the duty of every day required;
And afterward offered the continual ascending smoke offering, both of the New Moons, and of all the set feasts of Yahuah that were consecrated, and of everyone that willingly offered a freewill offering unto Yahuah.
From the first day of the seventh month began they to offer ascending smoke offerings unto Yahuah. But the foundation of the Temple of Yahuah was not yet laid.
They gave money also unto the masons, and to the carpenters; and meat, and drink, and oil, unto them of Tsiydon, and to them of Tsor, to bring cedar trees from Lebanon to the sea of Yapho, according to the grant that they had of Koresh king of Persia.
Now in the second year of their coming unto the house of Elohiym at Yerushalayim, in the second month, began Zerubbavel the son of She'altiy'el, and Yahusha the son of Yahutsadaq, and the remnant of their brethren the priests and the Leviyiym, and all they that were come out of the captivity unto Yerushalayim; and appointed the Leviyiym, from twenty years old and upward, to set forward the work of the house of Yahuah.
Then stood Yeshua with his sons and his brethren, Qadmiy'el and his sons, the sons of Yahudah, together, to set forward the workmen in the house of Elohiym: the sons of Chenadad, with their sons and their brethren the Leviyiym.
And when the builders laid the foundation of the Temple of Yahuah, they set the priests in their apparel with trumpets, and the Leviyiym the sons of Acaph with cymbals, to praise Yahuah, after the ordinance of Daviyd king of Yashar'el.
And they sang together by course in praising and giving thanks unto Yahuah; because he is good, for his mercy endures forever toward Yashar'el. And all the people shouted with a great shout, when they praised Yahuah, because the foundation of the house of Yahuah was laid.
But many of the priests and Leviyiym and chief of the fathers, who were ancient men, that had seen the first house, when the foundation of this house was laid before their eyes, wept with a loud voice; and many shouted aloud for joy:
So that the people could not discern the noise of the shout of joy from the noise of the weeping of the people: for the people shouted with a loud shout, and the noise was heard afar off.
