- When the seventh month was come, and the children of Israel were in the cities, the people gathered themselves together as one man to Jerusalem.
- Then stood up Jeshua the son of Jozadak, and his brothers the priests, and Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, and his brothers, and built 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.
- They set the altar on its base; for fear was on them because of the peoples of the countries: and they offered burnt offerings thereon to Yahweh, even burnt offerings morning and evening.
- They kept the feast of tents, as it is written, and [offered] the daily burnt offerings by number, according to the ordinance, as the duty of every day required;
- and afterward the continual burnt offering, and [the offerings] of the new moons, and of all the set feasts of Yahweh that were consecrated, and of everyone who willingly offered a freewill offering to Yahweh.
- From the first day of the seventh month began they to offer burnt offerings to Yahweh: but the foundation of the temple of Yahweh was not yet laid.
- They gave money also to the masons, and to the carpenters; and food, and drink, and oil, to them of Sidon, and to them of Tyre, to bring cedar trees from Lebanon to the sea, to Joppa, according to the grant that they had of Cyrus king of Persia.
- Now in the second year of their coming to the house of God at Jerusalem, in the second month, began Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, and Jeshua the son of Jozadak, and the rest of their brothers the priests and the Levites, and all those who were come out of the captivity to Jerusalem, and appointed the Levites, from twenty years old and upward, to have the oversight of the work of the house of Yahweh.
- Then stood Jeshua with his sons and his brothers, Kadmiel and his sons, the sons of Judah, together, to have the oversight of the workmen in the house of God: the sons of Henadad, with their sons and their brothers the Levites.
- When the builders laid the foundation of the temple of Yahweh, they set the priests in their clothing with trumpets, and the Levites the sons of Asaph with cymbals, to praise Yahweh, after the order of David king of Israel.
- They sang one to another in praising and giving thanks to Yahweh, "For he is good, for his loving kindness endures forever toward Israel." All the people shouted with a great shout, when they praised Yahweh, because the foundation of the house of Yahweh was laid.
- But many of the priests and Levites and heads of fathers' [houses], the old men who 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.

- ויגע החדש השביעי ובני ישראל בערים ס ויאספו העם כאיש אחד אל־ירושלם׃ ס
- ויקם ישוע בן־יוצדק ואחיו הכהנים וזרבבל בן־שאלתיאל ואחיו ויבנו את־מזבח אלהי ישראל להעלות עליו עלות ככתוב בתורת משה איש־האלהים׃
- ויכינו המזבח על־מכונתיו כי באימה עליהם מעמי הארצות עליו עלות ליהוה עלות לבקר ולערב׃
- ויעשו את־חג הסכות ככתוב ועלת יום ביום במספר כמשפט דבר־יום ביומו׃
- ואחריכן עלת תמיד ולחדשים ולכל־מועדי יהוה המקדשים ולכל מתנדב נדבה ליהוה׃
- מיום אחד לחדש השביעי החלו להעלות עלות ליהוה והיכל יהוה לא יסד׃
- ויתנו־כסף לחצבים ולחרשים ומאכל ומשתה ושמן לצדנים ולצרים להביא עצי ארזים מן־הלבנון אל־ים יפוא כרשיון כורש מלך־פרס עליהם׃ ף
- ובשנה השנית לבואם אל־בית האלהים לירושלם בחדש השני החלו זרבבל בן־שאלתיאל וישוע בן־יוצדק ושאר אחיהם הכהנים והלוים וכל־הבאים מהשבי ירושלם ויעמידו את־הלוים מבן עשרים שנה ומעלה לנצח על־מלאכת בית־יהוה׃ ף
- ויעמד ישוע בניו ואחיו קדמיאל ובניו בני־יהודה כאחד לנצח על־עשה המלאכה בבית האלהים ס בני חנדד בניהם ואחיהם הלוים׃
- ויסדו הבנים את־היכל יהוה ויעמידו הכהנים מלבשים בחצצרות והלוים בני־אסף במצלתים להלל את־יהוה על־ידי דויד מלך־ישראל׃
- ויענו בהלל ובהודת ליהוה כי טוב כי־לעולם חסדו על־ישראל וכל־העם הריעו תרועה גדולה בהלל ליהוה על הוסד בית־יהוה׃ ס
- ורבים מהכהנים והלוים וראשי האבות הזקנים אשר ראו את־הבית הראשון ביסדו זה הבית בעיניהם בכים בקול גדול ורבים בתרועה בשמחה להרים קול׃
- ואין העם מכירים קול תרועת השמחה לקול בכי העם כי העם מריעים תרועה גדולה והקול נשמע עד־למרחוק׃ ף

- Jamque venerat mensis septimus, et erant filii Israël in civitatibus suis : congregatus est ergo populus quasi vir unus in Jerusalem.
- Et surrexit Josue filius Josedec, et fratres ejus sacerdotes, et Zorobabel filius Salathiel, et fratres ejus, et ædificaverunt altare Dei Israël ut offerrent in eo holocautomata, sicut scriptum est in lege Moysi viri Dei.
- Collocaverunt autem altare Dei super bases suas, deterrentibus eos per circuitum populis terrarum, et obtulerunt super illud holocaustum Domino mane et vespere.
- Feceruntque solemnitatem tabernaculorum, sicut scriptum est, et holocaustum diebus singulis per ordinem secundum præceptum opus diei in die suo.
- Et post hæc holocaustum juge, tam in calendis quam in universis solemnitatibus Domini, quæ erant consecratæ, et in omnibus in quibus ultro offerebatur munus Domino.
- A primo die mensis septimi cœperunt offerre holocaustum Domino : porro templum Dei nondum fundatum erat.
- Dederunt autem pecunias latomis et cæmentariis : cibum quoque, et potum, et oleum Sidoniis Tyriisque, ut deferrent ligna cedrina de Libano ad mare Joppe, juxta quod præceperat Cyrus rex Persarum eis.
- Anno autem secundo adventus eorum ad templum Dei in Jerusalem, mense secundo, cœperunt Zorobabel filius Salathiel, et Josue filius Josedec, et reliqui de fratribus eorum sacerdotes, et Levitæ, et omnes qui venerant de captivitate in Jerusalem, et constituerunt Levitas a viginti annis et supra, ut urgerent opus Domini.
- Stetitque Josue et filii ejus et fratres ejus, Cedmihel et filii ejus, et filii Juda, quasi vir unus, ut instarent super eos qui faciebant opus in templo Dei : filii Henadad, et filii eorum, et fratres eorum Levitæ.
- Fundato igitur a cæmentariis templo Domini, steterunt sacerdotes in ornatu suo cum tubis : et Levitæ filii Asaph in cymbalis, ut laudarent Deum per manus David regis Israël.
- Et concinebant in hymnis, et confessione Domino : Quoniam bonus, quoniam in æternum misericordia ejus super Israël. Omnis quoque populus vociferabatur clamore magno in laudando Dominum, eo quod fundatum esset templum Domini.
- Plurimi etiam de sacerdotibus et Levitis, et principes patrum, et seniores, qui viderant templum prius cum fundatum esset, et hoc templum in oculis eorum, flebant voce magna : et multi vociferantes in lætitia, elevabant vocem.
- Nec poterat quisquam agnoscere vocem clamoris lætantium, et vocem fletus populi : commistim enim populus vociferabatur clamore magno, et vox audiebatur procul.

- 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.
- Then stood Jeshua with his sons and his brethren, Kadmiel and his sons, the sons of Judah, together, to set forward the workmen in the house of God: the sons of Henadad, with their sons and their brethren the Levites.
- And when the builders laid the foundation of the temple of the LORD, they set the priests in their apparel with trumpets, and the Levites the sons of Asaph with cymbals, to praise the LORD, after the ordinance of David king of Israel.
- And they sang together by course in praising and giving thanks unto the LORD; because he is good, for his mercy endureth for ever toward Israel. And all the people shouted with a great shout, when they praised the LORD, because the foundation of the house of the LORD was laid.
- But many of the priests and Levites 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.
