Ezra 3:8–11

^8*Now in the second year of their coming unto the house of God at Jerusalem, in the second month, began ^pZerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, and ^pJeshua 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 ^qtwenty years old and upward, ^rto set forward the work of the house of the Lord. ⁹Then stood ^sJeshua with his sons and his brethren, ^sKadmiel and his sons, the sons of ^||Judah, ^†together, ^rto set forward the workmen in the house of God: the sons of ^tHenadad, with their sons and their brethren the Levites. ¹⁰And when the builders laid the foundation of the temple of the Lord, they set the priests ^uin their apparel with ^wtrumpets, and the Levites the sons of Asaph with ^xcymbals, to praise the Lord, ^yafter the ordinance of David king of Israel. ¹¹And they ^zsang together by course in praising and giving thanks unto the Lord; ^abecause 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.
