Ezra 3:2. Then stood up Jeshua the son of Jozadak He was the high- priest, called Joshua, Haggai 1:1. And Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel That is, his grandson; for, properly speaking, he was the son of Pedaiah. And builded the altar of the God of Israel Which was of more present necessity than the temple, both to make atonement to God for all their sins, and to obtain God’s assistance for the building of the temple, and to strengthen their own hearts and hands in that great work. read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Ezra 3:1-13

3:1-6:22 THE TEMPLE REBUILTWork begins (3:1-13)Non-Jewish people living in and around Jerusalem were not pleased at the return of the Jews to the area. The Jews were understandably afraid, and wanted to ensure God’s protection by carrying out their religious duties faithfully. The mid-year festival season was approaching (see Leviticus 23:23-43), so the Jews quickly built an altar on which to offer their sacrifices. This marked the recommencement of regular sacrifices and festivals according to... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Ezra 3:1-6

The erection of the altar 3:1-6The text does not record exactly when the exiles arrived in Jerusalem, but it was probably sometime in 537 B.C. since Cyrus issued his decree in 538 B.C. The "seventh month" (Ezra 3:1) of the Jew’s sacred calendar was Tishri (late September through early October). [Note: See the appendix at the end of these notes for the Hebrew Calendar.] The people assembled in Jerusalem then to erect the altar of burnt offerings, the centerpiece of their worship (cf. Genesis... read more

The Altar and the Temple Ezra 3:2 ; Ezra 3:6 In the opening chapters of this book of Ezra we are among the Jews who have come back from Babylon. God has restored the exiles to their country; and their feet stand in Jerusalem again. But the ravages of war and the silent attacks of time have played strange havoc with the beloved city. It was then that they set to work to restore Jerusalem. God breathed an enthusiasm upon the people. And it was then that they built the altar of the Lord, for the... read more

0THE NEW TEMPLEEzra 2:68-70; Ezra 3:1-13UNLIKE the historian of the exodus from Egypt, our chronicler gives no account of adventures of the pilgrims on the road to Palestine, although much of their way led them through a wild and difficult country. So huge a caravan as that which accompanied Zerubbabel must have taken several months to cover the eight hundred miles between Babylon and Jerusalem; for even Ezra with his smaller company spent four months on their journey. {Ezra 7:8-9} A dreary... read more
