Assembly, altar and morning and evening offerings

1When the seventh month arrived, and the sons of Israel were in the cities, the people gathered as one man to Jerusalem.

2Then Jeshua son of Jozadak arose with his brothers the priests, and Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel with his brothers, and they built the altar of the God of Israel to offer burnt offerings on it, as it is written in the Law of Moses, the man of God.

3They set up the altar on its foundations, for fear was upon them because of the peoples of the lands, and they offered up burnt offerings on it to Yahweh, burnt offerings morning and evening.
