1 Esdras 5:62-64

Common English Bible

⁶² But the people couldn’t hear the trumpets because of the people’s weeping, even though the crowd was blowing the trumpets so loudly that the noise was heard far away.

⁶³ When the enemies of the tribe of Judah and Benjamin heard it, they came to investigate what the sound of the trumpets meant. ⁶⁴ They discovered that those who had returned from captivity were building the temple to the Lord God of Israel.
