Story in this passage

The temple foundation brings joy and grief

Work on the temple begins under Zerubbabel, Jeshua, and the Levites. When the foundation is laid, priests and Levites lead praise to God. Many shout for joy, but older people who remember the former temple weep aloud, and the mixed sound cannot be distinguished.

Setting
The temple site in Jerusalem during the second year after the return.

Main events
Work begins, the foundation is completed, and the community responds with both celebration and grief.

Why it matters
