Bible: Ezra 3:2, 8
3:2 Then Jeshua the son of Jozadak 1 and his priestly colleagues 2 and Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel and his colleagues 3 started to build 4 the altar of the God of Israel so they could offer burnt offerings on it as required by 5 the law of Moses the man of God. 3:8 In the second year after they had come to the temple of God in Jerusalem, 6 in the second month, Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel and Jeshua the son of Jozadak initiated the work, 7 along with the rest of their associates, 8 the priests and the Levites, and all those who were coming to Jerusalem from the exile. They appointed 9 the Levites who were at least twenty years old 10 to take charge of the work on the Lord ’s temple.
