and an hundreth priestlie garments. 46And the Priests and the Leuites and the people dwelt in Ierusalem and in the countrei, & the holie singers & the porters and all Israel in their ″villages. 47¶ But* when the seuenth moneth was nere, and when the children of Israel were euerie one at home, they were all gathered together with one accorde into the open place of the first gate, which is towarde the East. 48Then Iesus the sonne of Iosedec and his brethren the Priests with Zorobabel the sonne of Salathiel & his brethren, rising vp, made ready the altar of the God of Israel, 49To offre burnt offrings vpon it according as it is writen in the boke of Moyses the man of God. 50Whither also there were gathered against them of all nacions of the land: but they dressed the altar in his owne place, althogh all the nacions of the land were their enemies and vexed them, and they offred sacrifices according to the season, and burnt offrings to the Lord, morning & euening. 51They kept also the feast of tabernacles, as it is *ordeined in the Law, & offred sacrifices euerie day, as was requisite, 52And afterwarde, the continual oblations and offrings of the Sabbaths & of the new moneths & of all holy feasts. 53¶ And all *thei which had made any vowe to God, began to offre sacrifice vnto God in the first day of the seuenth moneth, althogh the Temple of God was not yet buylt. 54They gaue also money to the masons & to the workemen, and meat and drinke with gladnes, 55And charrets to the Sidonians and to those of Tyrus to bring ceder wood out of Libanus, which shulde be broght by flots to the hauen of Ioppe according to the commandement giuen vnto them by Cyrus King of Persia. 56And in the second yere and second moneth came into the Temple of God in Ierusalem, Zorobabel the sonne of Salathiel, and Iesus the sonne of Iosedec, and their brethren, and the Priests & Leuites, and all they that came out of captiuitie into Ierusalem, 57And * layed the fundacion of the House of God in the first day of the second moneth of the second yere after their returne into Iudea and Ierusalem. 58And they appointed the Leuites from twentie yere olde ouer the workes of the Lord, and Iesus & his sonne, & his brethren, & his brother Cadmiel, & the sonnes of Madiabon with the sonnes of Ioda, the sonne of Heliadun, with their sonnes, & brethren, euen all the Leuites with one accorde did followe after the worke, calling vpon the workes in the House of God: thus the workemen buytl the Temple of the Lord. 59And the Priests stode clothed with their long garments with musical instruments & trumpets, and the Leuites the sonnes of Asaph with cymbales, 60Singing & blessing the Lord, according to the ordinance of Dauid King of Israel. 61And they sung with loud voice songs to the praise of the Lord, because his mercie and glorie is for euer in all Israel. 62Then all the people blewe trumpets, and cryed with loud voice, praising the Lord for the raising vp of the House of the Lord. 63Also some of the Priests & Leuites, and chief men, to wit, the Ancients, which had sene the former House, 64Came to se the buylding of this with weping and great crying, & manie with trumpets and ioye cryed with loude voice, 65So that the people colde not heare the trumpets, because of the weping of the people: yet there was a great multitude that blew trumpets so that thei were heard far of. 66¶ Wherefore when the enemies of the tribes of Iuda & Beniamin heard it, they came to know what noise of trumpets it was, 67And they knewe that they of the captiuitie buylt the Temple to the Lord God of Israel. 68Wherefore they coming to Zorobabel, & Iesus, and the chief of the families, said vnto them, Let vs buyld also with you. 69For we obey your Lord, as you do, and sacrifice vnto him since the dayes of "Asbasareth King of the Assyrians, which broght vs hether. 70Then Zorobabel, and Iesus, & the chief of the families of Israel said to them, It doeth not apperteine to vs, and to you to buyld an House to the Lord our God. 71For we alone wil buylde it to the Lord God of Israel, as it becometh vs, & as*Cyrus the King of the Persians bad vs. 72Howbeit the people of the land made them sluggish that were in Iudea, and letted them to buyld the worke, and by their ambushments and seditions & conspiracies hindred the finishing of the buylding, 73All the time of King Cyrus life: so that they were let from the buylding two yere, vntil the reigne of Darius.
