D These folowynge are they, that went vp
from Chelmellat Thelarsa (whose Prynces
were Carmelam and Careth) ∧ myght
not shewe forth theyr cytyes and kynreddes,
how they were of Israel: The sonnes

executed þe; offyce of the Presthode, and were

one of the daughters of Phargelen,
and were named after hym. The wrytyng
of the same kynred was sought in the register
of theyr generacyon, but it was not
founde: and therfore were they forbydden
to execute the office of the presthode. Unto
them sayde Nehemias and Astharas, that
they shulde haue no porcyon in the Sanctuary,
tyll there rose vp an hye Prest, that
were well instruct in the playne clearnes
and trueth. (Of all Israel) besyde seruauntes
-- --
and maydens) there were .xlii.M.iii.C.
and .xl. Now were there of serua&ubar;tes
and mayd&ebar;s .vii.M.iii.C. ∧ .xxxvi. Of syngynge
men &abar;d syngynge women there were
two h&ubar;dred, ∧ .xlv. Foure h&ubar;dred and .xxxv
Camels. Seuen thousand, ∧ .xxxvi. horses.
Two hundred thousande and .xlv. mules.
Fyue .M. and .xxv. Asses.
E Their heades also ∧ the rulers in the tribes,
when they came to Ierusalem, ∧ wolde
buylde and set vp the t&ebar;ple of God agayne
in his place, they gaue (after their abylitye,
vnto the temple, to the treasure ∧ to the seruice
of the Sanctuary .xii.M. poundes of
golde, fyue thousande of syluer, and an hundred
prestes garmentes. And so dwelt the
Prestes and the Leuytes, ∧ the people that
went out to Ierusalem, and in the countre
there about, the syngers also ∧ the porters,
euery one of Israell in his awne lande.
noteSo when the seuenth moneth came, and
when the chyldren of Israel, were euery m&abar;
at his busynes, they came all wyth one consent
into the courte, whyche was before the
East dore. And there stode Iesua the sonne
of Iosedec and his brethren the Prestes, &abar;d
Zorobabel the sonne of Salathiel and hys
brethren, settyng vp an aulter, to offre br&ebar;t
sacrifyces vpon it, as it is wrytten in the
lawe of Moses.
There came people also of other co&ubar;trees,
and the Heathen out of all l&abar;des to set vp þe;
aulter in his place, and offred sacrifyces &abar;d
brent offrynges vnto the Lorde in the mornynge.
And so they helde the feast of tabernacles, note
as it is commaunded in the lawe.
And dayly offred they as accordynge was,
and made þe; sacrifyces appoynted, þe; offrynges
also of the Sabbathes ∧ of the new mones,
and all holy feastes. noteAnd al they that
vowed offrynges vnto the Lorde, beganne
at the newe mone of the .vii. moneth to offre
vnto God, for the temple of the Lorde was
not yet buylded. And they gaue vnto þe; Masons
and Carpenters, money, meate, ∧ drinke
with chearfulnesse.
F Unto them of Sidon
also and Tyre they gaue carres, that they
shulde cary Cedre trees fr&obar; Libanus to be
ioystes ∧ beames, &abar;d that they shulde make
shyppes in the hauen of Ioppe, accordynge
as it was appoynted ∧ ordeyned by Cyrus
kynge of the Persians.
And in the seconde yeare they came into þe;
temple of God at Ierusalem. noteIn the sec&obar;d
moneth beg&abar;ne Zorobabel the sonne of Salathiel,
and Iesua the sonne of Iosedec and
their brethren the Prestes and Leuites, and
al they that were come vnto Ierusal&ebar; out
of the captiuite of Babyl&obar;, ∧ layed the fo&ubar;dacion
of the temple, in the new mone of the
second moneth in þe; sec&obar;d yeare þt; they were
come into Iewry ∧ Ierusal&ebar;. And they appoynted
þe; Leuytes (þt; were aboue .xx. yeare
old) vnto þe; seruice of þe; Lord: so Iesua ∧ his
sonnes and his brethr&ebar;, al the Leuites stode
together, ∧ perfourmed the lawe and ordynaunce
in the house of the Lorde.
And the Prestes stode, ∧ had their garm&ebar;tes
∧ trompettes, and the Leuytes the sonnes
of Asaph had Cymbals, geuynge thankes
and prayses vnto the Lorde, according
note as Dauid the kynge of Israell had ordeyned.
And the song þt; they dyd singe vnto the
Lorde, was after this maner. noteO syng vnto
the Lorde, for he is gracious, ∧ his goodnes
vp&obar; Israel endureth for euer.
G And all þe;
people blew out with trompettes, and song
with loude voyce, praysing the Lorde together
in þe; rearing vp of the house of þe; Lorde.
noteThere came also from among the Prestes
and Leuytes the rulers ∧ elders, accordyng
to the tribes and kinredes (soch as had sene
the house afore) to the buyldyng of thys t&ebar;ple
with great crye and great mournyng,
many also with trompettes, &abar;d great ioye:
In so moch, that the trompettes might not
well be hearde for the wepynge and mournyng.
For the comm&ebar; people blewe goodly
vpon the trompettes.
noteThen came the enemyes of the tribes of
Iuda and Beniamin, to knowe what that
trompettyng and noyse of shawmes might
be. And they perceaued þt; it was they which
were come agayne out of captiuyte, ∧ wold
buylde the temple vp a new vnto the Lord
God of Israel. So they went to Zorobabel
and Iesua, &abar;d to the rulers of the vyllages,
and sayd vnto th&ebar;. Shall we buylde wyth
you also? For we lyke wise, haue heard your
Lorde, and we walke after the same maner,
from the dayes of Asbazareth the kynge of
Assiria, which brought vs hyther. Then Zorobabell
and Iesua and þe; rulers of the vyllages
of Israell sayde vnto them. It is not
mete, that ye shuld buyld the temple of our
God &wt; vs: we our selues alone wyll buylde
vnto the Lorde, lyke note as Cyrus the Kynge
of the Persians hath commaunded vs.
But the Heathen in the lande layed them
selues agaynst those þt; were in Iewry, helde
vp þe; buylding from th&ebar;, layed wayte vpon
them preuely, stopped such as brought any
thynge to them, forbad them to buylde, and
hyndered those that made th&ebar; passage, that
the buyldyng shuld not be fynished: &abar;d this
continued so longe as kynge Cyrus lyued:
and so they put of the buyldyng for the space
of two yeares, vntyl the raygne of kyng
Darius.
