Ezra 3:12-13

Rebuilding the Temple

¹² But many of the priests and Levites and heads of fathers' houses, _f old men who had seen the first house, wept with a loud voice when they saw the foundation of this house being laid, though many shouted aloud for joy, ¹³ so that the people could not distinguish the sound of the joyful shout from the sound of the people's weeping, for the people shouted with a great shout, and the sound was heard far away.
