Ezra 3:12
Swete's Septuagint · Berean Standard Bible
καὶ πολλοὶ ἀπὸ τῶν ἱερέων καὶ τῶν Λευειτῶν καὶ ἄρχοντες τῶν πατριῶν οἱ πρεσβύτεροι οἱ εἴδοσαν τὸν οἶκον τὸν πρῶτον ἐν θεμελιώσει αὐτοῦ, καὶ τοῦτον τὸν οἶκον ἐν ὀφθαλμοῖς αὐτῶν, ἔκλαιον φωνῇ μεγάλῃ, καὶ ὄχλος ἐν σημασίᾳ μετʼ εὐφροσύνης τοῦ ὑψῶσαι ᾠδήν.
But many of the older priests, Levites, and family heads who had seen the first temple wept loudly when they saw the foundation of this temple. Still, many others shouted joyfully.
