Ezra 3:12 in Context — Ezra 3
10 Y cuando los albañiles del templo de Jehová echaban los cimientos, pusieron á los sacerdotes vestidos de [sus ropas], con trompetas, y á Levitas hijos de Asaph con címbalos, para que alabasen á Jehová, según ordenanza de David rey de Israel.
11 Y cantaban, alabando y confesando á Jehová, [y decían]: Porque es bueno, porque para siempre es su misericordia sobre Israel. Y todo el pueblo aclamaba con grande júbilo, alabando á Jehová, porque á la casa de Jehová se echaba el cimiento.
12 Y muchos de los sacerdotes y de los Levitas y de los cabezas de los padres, ancianos que habían visto la casa primera, viendo fundar esta casa, lloraban en alta voz, mientras muchos [otros] daban grandes gritos de alegría.
13 Y no podía discernir el pueblo el clamor de los gritos de alegría, de la voz del lloro del pueblo: porque clamaba el pueblo con grande júbilo, y oíase el ruido hasta de lejos.
