9 Then Yeshua stood with his sons and his brothers, Kadmiel and his sons, the sons of Judah, together, to have the oversight of the workmen in God’s house: the sons of Henadad, with their sons and their brothers the Levites.
10 When the builders laid the foundation of the Lord’s temple, they set the priests in their clothing with shofars, with the Levites the sons of Asaph with cymbals, to praise the Lord, according to the directions of David king of Israel.
11 They sang to one another in praising and giving thanks to the Lord, “For he is good, for his loving kindness endures forever toward Israel.” All the people shouted with a great shout, when they praised the Lord, because the foundation of the Lord’s house had been laid.
12 But many of the priests and Levites and heads of fathers’ households, the old men who had seen the first house, when the foundation of this house was laid before their eyes, wept with a loud voice. Many also 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 far away.
