以斯拉记 6:6 CUVS

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Ezra 6:6-7

Ezra 6:6-7. Be ye far from thence Come not near Jerusalem to give the Jews any hinderance or disturbance. Let the work of the house of God alone The manner of expression intimates that he knew they had an inclination to hinder it. Thus was the wrath of the enemy made to praise God, and the remainder thereof did he restrain. read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Ezra 6:1-22

The temple completed (5:1-6:22)Having given examples of anti-Jewish activity from another era, the writer returns to the time of Zerubbabel. Because of opposition from their enemies, the Jews did no work on the temple for about sixteen years. Then the prophets Haggai and Zechariah began to stir up the people to get them working on the building once more (5:1-2).Some local people must have objected to the renewed activity, and soon a group of officials arrived at the scene to question the... read more

DARIUS' REPLY TO TATTENAI; GOVERNOR BEYOND THE RIVER"Now therefore, Tettanai, governor beyond the River, Shethar-bozenai, and your companions the Apharsachites, who are beyond the River, be ye far from thence: let the work of this house of God alone; let the governor of the Jews and the elders of the Jews build this house of God in its place.""This order must have stunned Tettanai and his companions."[9] Not only did Darius confirm the existence of the decree of Cyrus, he added his own... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Ezra 6:6-12

Darius’ decree 6:6-12Evidently Darius also saw the Jerusalem temple as a monument to his own success. He instructed Tattenai to allow the Jewish governor, Zerubbabel, and his people to proceed unobstructed. Darius seems to have viewed Zerubbabel as the ruler of the Jews living in the jurisdiction of Tattenai, who governed the whole province that included Palestine and Jerusalem. Darius further specified that the provincial treasury should pay all costs (Ezra 6:8), and that the provincial... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Ezra 6:6

(6) Now therefore, Tatnai.—Here there is an abrupt transition to the decree of Darius itself, the terms of which were either drawn up by Jewish help, or are freely rendered into the national phraseology by the historian.Be ye far from thence.—That is, keep aloof from any kind of interference. read more

Expositor's Bible Commentary - Ezra 6:6-22

THE DEDICATION OF THE TEMPLEEzra 6:6-22THE chronicler’s version of the edict in which Darius replies to the application of the Satrap Tattenai is so very friendly to the Jews that questions have been raised as to its genuineness. We cannot but perceive that the language has been modified in its transition from the Persian terra-cotta cylinder to the roll of the Hebrew chronicler, because the Great King could not have spoken of the religion of Israel in the absolute phrases recorded in the Book... read more
