## Ezra 3:15 in Context (Verses 12–13 KJV)
 
 [12 ](/kjv/ezra/3/12) But many of the priests and Levites and chief of the fathers, *who were* ancient men, that had seen the first house, when the foundation of this house was laid before their eyes, wept with a loud voice; and many shouted aloud for joy:
 
 [13 ](/kjv/ezra/3/13) So that the people could not discern the noise of the shout of joy from the noise of the weeping of the people: for the people shouted with a loud shout, and the noise was heard afar off.
 
[Ezra 2](/kjv/ezra/2) [Ezra 4](/kjv/ezra/4)
