Ezra 3:8 in Context — Ezra 3
6 Desde o primeiro dia do mês sétimo começaram a oferecer holocaustos ao SENHOR; porém ainda não estavam postos os fundamentos do templo do SENHOR.
7 Assim deram dinheiro aos pedreiros e carpinteiros; como também comida, bebida, e azeite aos sidônios e aos tírios, para que trazerem do Líbano madeira de cedro ao mar de Jope, conforme a autorização de Ciro, rei da Pérsia, acerca disto.
8 E no ano segundo de sua vinda à casa de Deus em Jerusalém, no mês segundo, começaram Zorobabel, filho de Sealtiel, Jesua, filho de Jozadaque, com os outros irmãos seus, os sacerdotes e os levitas, e todos os que haviam vindo do cativeiro a Jerusalém. E ordenaram aos levitas da idade de vinte anos acima, que cuidassem da casa do SENHOR.
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.
