Ezra 3:11 in Context — Ezra 3

9 Então Jesua, seus filhos e seus irmãos, Cadmiel e seus filhos, filhos de Judá, se levantaram como um só homem para supervisionarem os que faziam a obra na casa de Deus; [com] os filhos de Henadade, seus filhos e seus irmãos, levitas.

10 E quando os construtores do templo do SENHOR puseram os fundamentos, então ordenaram aos sacerdotes, já com as vestimentas e com trombetas, e aos levitas filhos de Asafe com címbalos, para louvarem ao SENHOR, conforme a ordenança de Davi, rei de Israel.

11 E cantavam em revezamento, louvando e celebrando ao SENHOR:Porque ele é bom, porque sua bondade sobre Israel dura para sempre!E todo o povo gritava com grande júbilo, louvando ao SENHOR, por causa da fundação da casa do SENHOR.

12 Porém muitos dos sacerdotes e dos levitas e dos chefes de famílias, já velhos, que haviam visto a primeira casa, quando viram a fundação desta casa, choravam em alta voz, mas muitos outros davam grandes gritos de alegria;

13 De maneira que o povo não conseguia distinguir as vozes de alegria das vozes de choro do povo; porque o povo gritava com tão grande júbilo, que se podia ouvir o som de muito longe.
