Ezra 3:2-9

[2] Then stood up  Jeshua  the son  of Jozadak,  and his brethren  the priests,  and Zerubbabel  the son  of Shealtiel,  and his brethren,  and builded  the altar  of the God  of Israel,  to offer  burnt offerings  thereon, as it is written  in the law  of Moses  the man  of God.  [3] And they set  the altar  upon his bases;  for fear  was upon them because of the people  of those countries:  and they offered  burnt offerings  thereon unto the LORD,  even burnt offerings  morning  and evening.  [4] They kept  also the feast  of tabernacles,  as it is written,  and offered the daily  burnt offerings  by number,  according to the custom,  as the duty  of every day  [5] And afterward  offered the continual  burnt offering,  both of the new moons,  and of all the set feasts  of the LORD  that were consecrated,  and of every one that willingly offered  a freewill offering  unto the LORD.  [6] From the first  day  of the seventh  month  began  they to offer  burnt offerings  of the temple  was not yet laid.  [7] They gave  money  also unto the masons,  and to the carpenters;  and meat,  and drink,  and oil,  unto them of Zidon,  and to them of Tyre,  to bring  cedar  trees  from Lebanon  to the sea  of Joppa,  according to the grant  that they had of Cyrus  king  of Persia.  [8] Now in the second  year  of their coming  unto the house  of God  at Jerusalem,  in the second  month,  began  Zerubbabel  the son  of Shealtiel,  and Jeshua  the son  of Jozadak,  and the remnant  of their brethren  the priests  and the Levites,  and all they that were come out  of the captivity  unto Jerusalem;  and appointed  the Levites,  from twenty  years  old  and upward,  to set forward  the work  of the house  of the LORD.  [9] Then stood  Jeshua  with his sons  and his brethren,  Kadmiel  and his sons,  of Judah,  together,  to set forward  the workmen  in the house  of God:  the sons  of Henadad,  with their sons  and their brethren  the Levites.
