Worship Begins Again

⁴⁷ When the seventh month came, and the sons of Israel were each in his own home, they gathered as one man in the square before the first gate toward the east. ⁴⁸ Then Jeshua the son of Jo′zadak, with his fellow priests, and Zerub′babel the son of She′altiel, with his kinsmen, took their places and prepared the altar of the God of Israel, ⁴⁹ to offer burnt offerings upon it, in accordance with the directions in the book of Moses the man of God.
