Foundation Of The Temple Is Laid

And all the people shouted out loudly in praise to the LORD when the foundation of the LORD's Temple was laid. 12 Now a number of the priests, the Levities, and the leading officials of the elders who were very elderly had seen the former Temple with their own eyes. When they observed the foundation of the Temple being laid, they wept with a loud voice, while the rest of them shouted for joy.
