Ezra 3:1 And 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.

wayyāqām yēšûa‘ ben-yôṣāḏāq wə’eḥāyw hakkōhănîm ûzərubbāḇel ben-šə’alətî’ēl wə’eḥāyw wayyiḇənû ’eṯ-mizəbaḥ ’ĕlōhê yiśərā’ēl ləha‘ălôṯ ‘ālāyw ‘ōlôṯ kakkāṯûḇ bəṯôraṯ mōšeh ’îš-hā’ĕlōhîm

Ezra 3:2 Then stood up Jeshua the son of Jozadak, and his brethren the priests, and Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, and his brethren, and builded 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.

wayyāḵînû hammizəbēaḥ ‘al-məḵônōṯāyw kî bə’êmāh ‘ălêhem mē‘ammê hā’ărāṣôṯ wayya‘ălû ‘ālāyw ‘ōlôṯ layhwāh ‘ōlôṯ labbōqer wəlā‘āreḇ

Ezra 3:3 And 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, even burnt offerings morning and evening.

wayya‘ăśû ’eṯ-ḥag̱ hassukkôṯ kakkāṯûḇ wə‘ōlaṯ yôm bəyôm bəmisəpār kəmišəpaṭ dəḇar-yôm bəyômô

Ezra 3:4 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;

wə’aḥărêḵēn ‘ōlaṯ tāmîḏ wəleḥŏḏāšîm ûləḵāl-mô‘ăḏê yəhwāh haməquddāšîm ûləḵōl miṯənaddēḇ nəḏāḇāh layhwāh

Ezra 3:5 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.

miyyôm ’eḥāḏ laḥōḏeš haššəḇî‘î hēḥēllû ləha‘ălôṯ ‘ōlôṯ layhwāh wəhêḵal yəhwāh lō’ yussāḏ

Ezra 3:6 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.

wayyittənû-ḵesep̱ laḥōṣəḇîm wəleḥārāšîm ûma’ăḵāl ûmišəteh wāšemen laṣṣiḏōnîm wəlaṣṣōrîm ləhāḇî’ ‘ăṣê ’ărāzîm min-halləḇānôn ’el-yām yāp̱ô’ kərišəyôn kôreš meleḵ-pāras ‘ălêhem

Ezra 3:7 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.

ûḇaššānāh haššēnîṯ ləḇô’ām ’el-bêṯ hā’ĕlōhîm lîrûšālaim baḥōḏeš haššēnî hēḥēllû zərubbāḇel ben-šə’alətî’ēl wəyēšûa‘ ben-yôṣāḏāq ûšə’ār ’ăḥêhem hakkōhănîm wəhaləwiyyim wəḵāl-habbā’îm mēhaššəḇî yərûšālaim wayya‘ămîḏû ’eṯ-haləwiyyim mibben ‘eśərîm šānāh wāma‘əlāh lənaṣṣēaḥ ‘al-məle’ḵeṯ bêṯ-yəhwāh

Ezra 3:8 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.

wayya‘ămōḏ yēšûa‘ bānāyw wə’eḥāyw qaḏəmî’ēl ûḇānāyw bənê-yəhûḏāh kə’eḥāḏ lənaṣṣēaḥ ‘al-‘ōśēh hamməlā’ḵāh bəḇêṯ hā’ĕlōhîm bənê ḥēnāḏāḏ bənêhem wa’ăḥêhem haləwiyyim

Ezra 3:9 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.

wəyissəḏû habbōnîm ’eṯ-hêḵal yəhwāh wayya‘ămîḏû hakkōhănîm məlubbāšîm baḥăṣōṣərôṯ wəhaləwiyyim bənê-’āsāp̱ baməṣilətayim ləhallēl ’eṯ-yəhwāh ‘al-yəḏê dāwîḏ meleḵ-yiśərā’ēl

Ezra 3:10 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.

wayya‘ănû bəhallēl ûḇəhôḏōṯ layhwāh kî ṭôḇ kî-lə‘ôlām ḥasədô ‘al-yiśərā’ēl wəḵāl-hā‘ām hērî‘û ṯərû‘āh g̱əḏôlāh ḇəhallēl layhwāh ‘al hûsaḏ bêṯ-yəhwāh

Ezra 3:11 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.

wərabbîm mēhakkōhănîm wəhaləwiyyim wərā’šê hā’āḇôṯ hazzəqēnîm ’ăšer rā’û ’eṯ-habbayiṯ hāri’šôn bəyāsəḏô zeh habbayiṯ bə‘ênêhem bōḵîm bəqôl gāḏôl wərabbîm biṯərû‘āh ḇəśiməḥāh ləhārîm qôl

Ezra 3:12 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:

wə’ên hā‘ām makkîrîm qôl tərû‘aṯ haśśiməḥāh ləqôl bəḵî hā‘ām kî hā‘ām mərî‘îm tərû‘āh g̱əḏôlāh wəhaqqôl nišəma‘ ‘aḏ-ləmērāḥôq

Ezra 3:13 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.
