¹And when the seventh month was come, and the people of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] [were] in the cities, the people gathered themselves together as one man to Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace] .

²Then stood up Yeshua [he is saved] the son of Yotzadak [Yehovah is righteous] , and his brethren the priests, and Z’rubavel [sown in Babylon] the son of Sh’alti’el [I have asked of God] , and his brethren, and built the altar of the God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] , to offer burnt offerings thereon, as [it is] written in the law of Moshe [He Who Draws Out Of The Waters] the man of God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] .

³And they set the altar upon his bases; for fear [was] upon them because of the people of those countries: and they offered burnt offerings thereon unto the Lord -Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) , [even] burnt offerings morning and evening.

⁴They 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;

⁵And afterward [offered] the continual burnt offering, both of the new moons, and of all the set feasts of the Lord -Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) that were consecrated, and of every one that willingly offered a freewill offering unto the Lord -Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) .

⁶From the first day of the seventh month began they to offer burnt offerings unto the Lord -Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) . But the foundation of the temple of the Lord -Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) was not [yet] laid.

⁷They gave money also unto the masons, and to the carpenters; and meat, and drink, and oil, unto them of Tzidon [Hunting] , and to them of Tzor [a rock] , to bring cedar trees from L’vanon [Whiteness] to the sea of Joppa, according to the grant that they had of Koresh (Cyrus) [possess you the furnace] king of Paras (Persia) [pure or splendid] .

⁸Now in the second year of their coming unto the house of God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] at Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace] , in the second month, began Z’rubavel [sown in Babylon] the son of Sh’alti’el [I have asked of God] , and Yeshua [he is saved] the son of Yotzadak [Yehovah is righteous] , and the remnant of their brethren the priests and the Levi’im (Levites) [Joined to] , and all they that were come out of the captivity unto Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace] ; and appointed the Levi’im (Levites) [Joined to] , from twenty years old and upward, to set forward the work of the house of the Lord -Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) .

⁹Then stood Yeshua [he is saved] [with] his sons and his brethren, Kadmi’el [God is the ancient one] and his sons, the sons of Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised] , together, to set forward the workmen in the house of God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] : the sons of Henadad [favour of Hadad] , [with] their sons and their brethren the Levi’im (Levites) [Joined to] .

¹⁰And when the builders laid the foundation of the temple of the Lord -Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) , they set the priests in their apparel with trumpets, and the Levi’im (Levites) [Joined to] the sons of Asaf [gatherer] with cymbals, to praise the Lord -Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) , after the ordinance of David [beloved] king of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] .

¹¹And they sang together by course in praising and giving thanks unto the Lord -Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) ; because [he is] good, for his mercy [endures] forever toward Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] . And all the people shouted with a great shout, when they praised the Lord -Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) , because the foundation of the house of the Lord -Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) was laid.

¹²But many of the priests and Levi’im (Levites) [Joined to] 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:

¹³So 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.
