- 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 they began to offer burnt offerings to the LORD, but the foundation of the temple of the LORD had not been laid.
- Then they gave money to the masons and carpenters, and food, drink and oil to the Sidonians and to the Tyrians, to bring cedar wood from Lebanon to the sea at Joppa, according to the permission they had from Cyrus king of Persia.
- Now in the second year of their coming to the house of God at Jerusalem in the second month, Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel and Jeshua the son of Jozadak and the rest of their brothers the priests and the Levites, and all who came from the captivity to Jerusalem, began the work and appointed the Levites from twenty years and older to oversee the work of the house of the LORD.
- Then Jeshua with his sons and brothers stood united with Kadmiel and his sons, the sons of Judah and the sons of Henadad with their sons and brothers the Levites, to oversee the workmen in the temple of God.
- Now when the builders had laid the foundation of the temple of the LORD, the priests stood in their apparel with trumpets, and the Levites, the sons of Asaph, with cymbals, to praise the LORD according to the directions of King David of Israel.
