Ezra 3:2 In-Context

1 iamque venerat mensis septimus et erant filii Israhel in civitatibus suis congregatus est ergo populus quasi vir unus in Hierusalem

2 et surrexit Iosue filius Iosedech et fratres eius sacerdotes et Zorobabel filius Salathihel et fratres eius et aedificaverunt altare Dei Israhel ut offerrent in eo holocaustomata sicut scriptum est in lege Mosi viri Dei

3 conlocaverunt autem altare super bases suas deterrentibus eos per circuitum populis terrarum et obtulerunt super illud holocaustum Domino mane et vespere

4 feceruntque sollemnitatem tabernaculorum sicut scriptum est et holocaustum diebus singulis per ordinem secundum praeceptum opus diei in die suo

5 et post haec holocaustum iuge tam in kalendis quam in universis sollemnitatibus Domini quae erant consecratae et in omnibus in quibus ultro offerebatur munus Deo
