Ezra 3:3-6

The Voice

³ The men built the altar on the ruined foundation of Solomon’s altar because they feared those who were left behind in the land during the exile. Jeshua and the priests burned offerings to the Eternal each morning and evening ⁴ and celebrated the Feast of Booths just as Moses had prescribed, offering the required number of burnt offerings each day. ^5-6 The daily burnt offerings to the Eternal began on the first day of the seventh month, and when the Feast of Booths ended, our continual offerings did not. They gave burnt sacrifices for the new moons and all of the Eternal’s prescribed festivals, and everyone’s freewill offerings were given to Him.

But the foundation of His temple had not been laid.
