Ezra 3:1-7Darby Translation (DARBY)
3 And
when the seventh month came, and the children of Israel were in the
cities, the people gathered together as one man to Jerusalem.
2 Then
stood up Jeshua the son of Jozadak, and his brethren the priests, and
Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, and his brethren, and built the altar
of the God of Israel, to offer up burnt-offerings on it, as it is
written in the law of Moses the man of God.
3 And
they set the altar on its base; for fear was upon them because of the
people of the countries; and they offered up burnt-offerings on it to
Jehovah, the morning and evening burnt-offerings.
4 And
they held the feast of tabernacles as it is written, and [offered]
daily burnt-offerings by number, according to the ordinance, as the duty
of every day required;
5 and
afterwards the continual burnt-offering, and those of the new moons,
and of all the set feasts of Jehovah that were consecrated, and of every
one that willingly offered a voluntary offering to Jehovah.
6 From
the first day of the seventh month they began to offer up
burnt-offerings to Jehovah. But the foundation of the temple of Jehovah
was not [yet] laid.
7 And
they gave money to the masons and to the carpenters; and meat and drink
and oil to the Zidonians and to the Tyrians, to bring cedar-trees from
Lebanon to the sea at Joppa, according to the grant that they had of
Cyrus king of Persia.
