/>3:8-10King James Version (KJV)
8 Now in the second year of their coming unto the house of God
at Jerusalem, in the second month, began Zerubbabel the son of
Shealtiel, and Jeshua the son of Jozadak, and the remnant of
their brethren the priests and the Levites, and all they that
were come out of the captivity unto Jerusalem; and appointed the
Levites, from twenty years old and upward, to set forward the
work of the house of the Lord.
9 Then stood Jeshua with his sons and his brethren, Kadmiel and
his sons, the sons of Judah, together, to set forward the
workmen in the house of God: the sons of Henadad, with their
sons and their brethren the Levites.
10 And when the builders laid the foundation of the temple of
the Lord, they set the priests in their apparel with trumpets,
and the Levites the sons of Asaph with cymbals, to praise the
Lord, after the ordinance of David king of Israel.
Ezra 3:8-10World English Bible (WEB)
8 Now in the second year of their coming to God’s house at
Jerusalem, in the second month, Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel,
and Jeshua the son of Jozadak, and the rest of their brothers
the priests and the Levites, and all those who had come out of
the captivity to Jerusalem, began the work and appointed the
Levites, from twenty years old and upward, to have the oversight
of the work of Yahweh’s house. 9 Then Jeshua 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 Yahweh’s
temple, they set the priests in their clothing with trumpets,
with the Levites the sons of Asaph with cymbals, to praise
Yahweh, according to the directions of David king of Israel.
These are my thoughts, please share yours.
8 They have been back in Jerusalem for 14 months now., the
Levities were the ones to build the temple because they were
called by God to work in the temple, sometimes to that God calls
are chosen by man to their exact purpose for serving such as a
preacher is called to preach but the people often choose him to
allow him to do the work God has called him to do. Everybody had
a place to help get the temple done, while only the Levities
were the ones to build the temple there would have had to be
people to go get the supplies for building that way they could
remain at the temple ground building the temple. God wants
people to grow up before He will put certain tasks on them, this
does not mean God could not have used the younger Levites or use
kids today but means age often times means a growth.
9 Judah represented the kings of Judah this shows that instead
of them trying to rebuild their throne they were focused on
giving God His temple. This shows that the focus of the people
went back to God which was not where their focus was when they
went into exile.
10 The foundation of the temple was laid the foundation is
important because if it is weak the whole temple would fall, our
foundation is to be in Christ our Lord and Savior, any other
foundation will bring us crashing down. We are to give the Lord
praise, nothing praises the Lord more than our obedience.
