Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Ezra 3:4

They kept also the feast of tabernacles , as it is written - This began on the fifteenth day of the seventh month; but they had begun the regular offerings from the first day of this month, Ezra 3:6 . And these were religiously continued all the time they were building the temple. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezra 3:1

When the seventh month was come. The seventh month was Tisri, and corresponded nearly to our October. It was the most sacred month of the Jewish year, commencing with a blowing of trumpets and a holy convocation on the first day (Le 23:24), which was followed on the tenth day by the solemn day of atonement (ibid. verse 27; comp. Le 16:29-34), and on the fifteenth day by the feast of tabernacles or "ingathering," one of the three great annual festivals, which lasted to the twenty-second... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezra 3:1-3

The first sacrifice. The third chapter begins much as the second chapter concluded, with a picture of the restored Israelites in their respective "cities" or homes. But they do not stay there very long. The temple and the temple worship, for which they had laid by ( Ezra 2:68 , Ezra 2:69 ) before dispersing, is still much on their minds. These verses tell us of the consequent action next taken in that direction— 1. on the part of the people specially; 2. on the part of their... read more

The altar rebuilt. The return from Babylon is supposed to have been in the spring. The first employment of the people would be to construct for themselves huts, or so to repair dilapidated buildings as to make them fit for habitation. This accomplished, no time was lost in setting about the great work of re-establishing their ancient worship. So "when the seventh month was come," the month Tisri, corresponding to portions of our September and October, they repaired to Jerusalem to... read more

Acceptable service. When the 42,000 Israelites arrived in the land whither they went forth, they took peaceable and glad possession of their old homes; many, if not most, of them returning to the very fields and homesteads from which their fathers had been led away. They then showed a piety which was partly the fruit of the long discipline they had passed through in Persia. Their service of Jehovah, on this their return, was characterised by— I. SPONTANEITY ( Ezra 3:1 , Ezra 3:5 ... read more

Aspects of worship. I. The HUMAN in WORSHIP . "Then stood up Jeshua the son of Jozadak," etc. ( Ezra 3:2 ). These men were the leaders in this movement of worship; they gathered the people thereto. There is a human side to Divine worship; the altar looks toward earth as well as toward heaven; man builds, if God consecrates it; man appoints the time of worship, arranges its method, gathers the people, stimulates the conscience by faithful words, and enforces the law. A few good men... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezra 3:2

Jeshua the son of Jozadak. The position of Jeshua, both here and in Ezra 3:8 , Ezra 3:9 , sufficiently marks him as the high priest, though Ezra does not give him the title. Haggai, however ( Ezra 1:1 , 14; Ezra 2:2 ), and Zechariah ( Ezra 3:1 , Ezra 3:8 ; Ezra 6:11 ) distinctly assign him the office. His father, Jozadak, or Josedech, was the son of Seraiah, high priest at the destruction of Jerusalem ( 1 Chronicles 6:14 ). The name Jeshua is a mere variant of Joshua, and so... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezra 3:3

They set the altar upon his bases. They built the new altar upon the foundations of the old one, making it exactly conform to them. This was done, no doubt, to indicate that the religion which the exiles brought back from Babylon was in every respect identical with that which they had possessed before they were carried thither. Many moderns hold the contrary; but it has not yet been proved that the sojourn at Babylon modified the religious ideas of the Jews in any important particular. For... read more

CELEBRATION OF THE FEAST OF TABERNACLES ( Ezra 3:4 ). Emboldened by their successful restoration of the altar of burnt sacrifice, Zerubbabel and Jeshua allowed the people to gather themselves together and celebrate the autumnal festival, though they can scarcely have made it on this occasion a "feast of ingathering." As it is written . According to the mode of celebration prescribed in the law; i.e. for seven consecutive days, from the fifteenth to the twenty-second of... read more
