4 They celebrated the ^aFeast of ¹Booths, ^bas it is written, and offered ²the fixed number of burnt offerings daily, ^caccording to the legal judgment, as each day required; 5 and afterward there was a ^acontinual burnt offering, also ^bfor the new moons and ^cfor all the appointed times of Yahweh that were set apart as holy, and from everyone who offered a freewill offering to Yahweh. 6 From the first day of the seventh month they began to offer burnt offerings to Yahweh, but the foundation of the temple of Yahweh had not been laid. 7 Then they gave money to the masons and ¹carpenters, and ^afood, drink, and oil to the Sidonians and to the Tyrians, ^bto bring cedar wood from Lebanon to the sea at ^cJoppa, according to the permission they had ²from ^dCyrus king of Persia.
