EZRA CHAPTER 3 The altar set up, Ezra 3:1-3. The feast of the tabernacles kept, Ezra 3:4. Their continual offerings, Ezra 3:5,6. Workmen hired, Ezra 3:7. Priests and Levites are appointed to set forward the work, Ezra 3:8,9. The foundation of the temple is laid with great joy and mourning, Ezra 3:10-13. When the seventh month was come, or rather, was coming, or drew near; for the altar was set up after this time, Ezra 3:3, which yet was employed the first day of this month, Ezra 3:6. This was a sacred kind of month, wherein there were divers festivals, as appears from Le 23 for which the people had been preparing themselves, and now came to Jerusalem to the celebration of them.
