Ezra 3:7 in Context — Ezra 3

5 Après cela, ils offrirent l’holocauste perpétuel, les holocaustes des nouvelles lunes et de toutes les solennités consacrées à l’Éternel, et ceux de quiconque faisait des offrandes volontaires à l’Éternel.

6 Dès le premier jour du septième mois, ils commencèrent à offrir à l’Éternel des holocaustes. Cependant les fondements du temple de l’Éternel n’étaient pas encore posés.

7 On donna de l’argent aux tailleurs de pierres et aux charpentiers, et des vivres, des boissons et de l’huile aux Sidoniens et aux Tyriens, pour qu’ils amenassent par mer jusqu’à Japho des bois de cèdre du Liban, suivant l’autorisation qu’on avait eue de Cyrus, roi de Perse.

8 La seconde année depuis leur arrivée à la maison de Dieu à Jérusalem, au second mois, Zorobabel, fils de Schealthiel, Josué, fils de Jotsadak, avec le reste de leurs frères les sacrificateurs et les Lévites, et tous ceux qui étaient revenus de la captivité à Jérusalem, se mirent à l’œuvre et chargèrent les Lévites de vingt ans et au-dessus de surveiller les travaux de la maison de l’Éternel.

9 Et Josué, avec ses fils et ses frères, Kadmiel, avec ses fils, fils de Juda, les fils de Hénadad, avec leurs fils et leurs frères les Lévites, se préparèrent tous ensemble à surveiller ceux qui travaillaient à la maison de Dieu.
