What does Ezra 3:13 mean?

The people’s shouts of joy and cries of sorrow blended together so loudly that you couldn’t tell them apart, and the sound could be heard far away. Ezra 3:13 - Modern Text Bible

(The scene is a mix of joy and grief—everyone’s emotions are raw and real, and the noise of their celebration and mourning carries far beyond Jerusalem.)
