Ezra 3:5-7

English Standard Version

⁵ and after that the regular burnt ^(A)offerings, the offerings at the new moon ^(B)and at all the appointed feasts of the Lord, and the offerings of everyone who made a freewill offering to the Lord. ⁶ From the first day of the seventh month they began to offer burnt offerings to the Lord. But the foundation of the temple of the Lord was not yet laid. ⁷ So they gave money to the masons and the carpenters, ^(C)and food, drink, and oil to the Sidonians and the Tyrians ^(D)to bring cedar trees from Lebanon to the sea, to Joppa, ^(E)according to the grant that they had from Cyrus king of Persia.
