Yesterday I was reading in Ezra, which has this description of how the people of Israel, who "gathered as one man to Jerusalem," responded when the cornerstone was laid in order to rebuild the temple. It feels so very true to life:
But many of the priests and Levites and heads of fathers' houses, 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, 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.
(Ezra 3:12-13 ESV)
