Ezra
Ezra 3:4–6
4They also celebrated the Feast of Tabernaclesb in accordance with what is written, and they offered burnt offerings daily based on the number prescribed for each day.
5After that, they presented the regular burnt offerings and those for New Moons and for all the appointed sacred feasts of the LORD, as well as all the freewill offerings brought to the LORD.
6On the first day of the seventh month, the Israelites began to offer burnt offerings to the LORD, although the foundation of the temple of the LORD had not been laid.
