1 By the seventh month, the Israelites (God prevails) had settled in their towns, and the people assembled as one man in Jerusalem (city of peace). 2 Then Jeshua (he is saved) son of Jozadak (Jehozadak) and his fellow priests, along with Zerubbabel (sown in Babylon) son of Shealtiel (I have asked of God) and his associates, began to build the altar of the God {Elohe} of Israel (he wrestles with God) to sacrifice burnt offerings on it, as it is written in the Law of Moses (drawn out) the man of God. 3 They set up the altar on its foundation and sacrificed burnt offerings on it to the LORD {YHWH}—both the morning and evening burnt offerings—even though they feared the people of the land. 4 They also celebrated the Feast of Tabernacles (Sukkot) in accordance with what is written, and they offered burnt offerings daily based on the number prescribed for each day. 5 After that, they presented the regular burnt offerings and those for New Moons and for all the appointed sacred feasts of the LORD {YHWH}, as well as all the freewill offerings brought to the LORD.
