Ezra 3:1-3

New American Standard Bible 1995

Altar and Sacrifices Restored

3 Now when the seventh month came, and ^(A)the sons of Israel were in the cities, the people gathered together as one man to Jerusalem. ² Then ^(B)Jeshua the son of Jozadak and his brothers the priests, and ^(C)Zerubbabel the son ^(D)of Shealtiel and his brothers arose and ^(E)built the altar of the God of Israel to offer burnt offerings on it, ^(F)as it is written in the law of Moses, the man of God. ³ So they set up the altar on its foundation, for ^[a](G)they were terrified because of the peoples of the lands; and they ^(H)offered burnt offerings on it to the Lord, burnt offerings morning and evening.
