CHAP. III. 1 They build the altar of God. 6 They offer to the Lorde. 7 They prepare for the Temple, 11 And sing vnto the Lord.


1   And note when the note seuenth moneth was come, and the children of Israel were in their cities, the people assembled themselues as one man The reedifying of the Temple. vnto Ierusalem.


2   Then stoode vp Ieshua rhe sonne of Iozadak, and his brethren the Priests, and Zerubbabel the note sonne of Shealtiel, and his brethren, and builded the altar of the God of Israel, to offer burnt offerings thereon, as it is written in þe; Lawe of Moses the man of God,


3   And they set the altar vpon note his bases (for feare was among them, because of the people of those countreis) therefore they offered burnt offrings thereon vnto the Lorde, euen burnt offrings in the morning, and at euen.


4   They kept also the feast of the Tabernacles, as it is written, and the burnt offring note dayly, by nomber according to the custome day by day,


5   And afterwarde note the continuall bnrnt offring, both in the newe moneths and in all the feast dayes that were consecrate vnto the Lorde, and in all the oblations willingly offered vnto the Lorde.


6   From the first day of the seuenth moneth began they to offer burnt offrings vnto the Lord: but the foundation of the Temple of the Lorde was not layed.


7   They gaue money also vnto the masons, and to the workemen, and meat and drinke, & oyle vnto them of Zidon and of Tyrus, to bring them cedar wood from Lebanon to the sea vnto note Iapho, according to the graunt that they had of Cyrus King of Persia.


8   ¶2; And in the seconde yeere of their comming vnto the house of God in Ierusalem in the note second moneth began Zerubbabel the sonne of Shealtiel, and Ieshua the sonne of Iozadak, and the remnant of their brethren the Priests and the Leuites, and all they that were come out of the captiuitie vnto Ierusalem, and appointed the Leuites from twentie yeere olde and aboue, to set forwarde the worke of the house of the Lorde.


9   And Ieshua note stood with his sonnes, and his brethren, and Kadmiel with his sonnes, and the sonnes of Iudah together to set forward þe; workemen in the house of God, and the sonnes of Henadad with their sonnes, and their brethren the Leuites.


10   And when the builders layed the foundation of the Temple of the Lorde, they appoynted the Priestes in their apparel with trumpets, and the Leuites the sonnes of Asaph with cymbales, to prayse the Lord, note after the ordinance of Dauid King of Israel.


11   Thus they sang when they gaue prayse, and when they gaue thankes vnto the Lorde, For he is good, for his mercie endureth for euer toward Israel. And all the people shouted with a great shoute, when they praysed the Lorde, because the foundation of the house of the Lorde was layed.


12   Many also of the Priests & the Leuites and the chiefe of the fathers, ancient men which had seene the first house, (when the foundation of this house was layed before their eyes) note wept &wt; a loud voyce, and many shouted aloud for ioy,


13   So that the people coulde not discerne the sound of the shoute for ioy, from the noyse of the weeping of the people: for the people shouted with a loude crie, & the noyse was heard farre off.
