67 And they perceived that those who were of the captivity were building the temple unto the Lord God of Israel.

1 Esdras 5:67 In-Context

65 insomuch that the trumpets might not be heard for the weeping of the people; yet the multitude sounded marvelously, so that it was heard afar off.

66 Therefore when the enemies of the tribe of Judah and Benjamin heard it, they came to know what that noise of trumpets should mean.

67 And they perceived that those who were of the captivity were building the temple unto the Lord God of Israel.

68 So they went to Zerubbabel and Jeshua and to the chief of the families, and said unto them, "We will build together with you.

69 For we likewise, as ye, do obey your Lord, and do sacrifice unto Him from the days of Esarhaddon the king of the Assyrians, who brought us hither."
