Ezra 3:4-6
Contemporary English Version
4 (A) The people followed the rules for celebrating the Festival of Shelters and offered the proper sacrifices each day. 5 (B) They offered sacrifices to please the Lord,[a] sacrifices at each New Moon Festival, and sacrifices at the rest of the Lord's festivals. Every offering the people had brought voluntarily was also presented to the Lord.
6 Although work on the temple itself had not yet begun, the people started offering sacrifices on the Lord's altar on the first day of the seventh month of that year.

4 Then in accordance with what is written, they celebrated the Festival of Tabernacles(A) with the required number of burnt offerings prescribed for each day. 5 After that, they presented the regular burnt offerings, the New Moon(B) sacrifices and the sacrifices for all the appointed sacred festivals of the Lord,(C) as well as those brought as freewill offerings to the Lord. 6 On the first day of the seventh month they began to offer burnt offerings to the Lord, though the foundation of the Lord’s temple had not yet been laid.
