Ezra 3:8-9
3:8 In the second year after they had come to the temple of God in Jerusalem,
in the second month, Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel and Jeshua the son of Jozadak initiated the work,
along with the rest of their associates,
the priests and the Levites, and all those who were coming to Jerusalem from the exile. They appointed
the Levites who were at least twenty years old
to take charge of the work on the
Lord’s temple.
3:9 So Jeshua appointed both his sons and his relatives,
Kadmiel and his sons (the sons of Yehudah
), to take charge of the workers in the temple of God, along with the sons of Henadad, their sons, and their relatives
the Levites.

Lord who rules over all.

Lord who rules over all.
