Ezra 3:12-13
American Standard Version
12 But many of the priests and Levites and heads of fathers’ houses, the old men that had seen [a]the first house, when the foundation of this house was laid before their eyes, wept with a loud voice; and many shouted aloud for joy: 13 so that the people could not discern the noise of the shout of joy from the noise of the weeping of the people; for the people shouted with a loud shout, and the noise was heard afar off.
