- 從七月初一日起、他們就向耶和華獻燔祭.但耶和華殿的根基、尚未立定。
- 他們又將銀子給石匠、木匠、把糧食、酒、油、給西頓人、推羅人、使他們將香柏樹從利巴嫩運到海裡、浮海運到約帕、是照波斯王古列所允准的。
- 百姓到了耶路撒冷 神殿的地方、第二年二月、撒拉鐵的兒子所羅巴伯、約薩達的兒子耶書亞、和其餘的弟兄、就是祭司、利未人、並一切被擄歸回耶路撒冷的人、都興工建造.又派利未人、從二十歲以外的、督理建造耶和華殿的工作。
- 於是猶大〔在二章四十節作何達威雅〕的後裔、就是耶書亞、和他的子孫與弟兄、甲篾和他的子孫、利未人希拿達的子孫與弟兄、都一同起來、督理那在 神殿作工的人。
- 匠人立耶和華殿根基的時候、祭司皆穿禮服吹號、亞薩的子孫利未人敲鈸、照以色列王大衛所定的例、都站著讚美耶和華。

- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
