Then stood up... read more

Alexander MacLaren's Expositions of Holy Scripture - Ezra 3:1-13

Ezra ALTAR AND TEMPLE Ezr_3:1 - Ezr_3:13 . What an opportunity of ‘picturesque’ writing the author of this book has missed by his silence about the incidents of the march across the dreary levels from Babylon to the verge of Syria! But the very silence is eloquent. It reveals the purpose of the book, which is to tell of the re-establishment of the Temple and its worship. No doubt the tone of the whole is somewhat prosaic, and indicative of an age in which the externals of worship bulked... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Ezra 3:1-7

the Building of the Altar Ezra 2:61-70 ; Ezra 3:1-7 Throughout their history the true Israelites were eager to maintain their genealogy; wherever they were scattered, they carefully guarded their national registers. Each of us should be able to establish his descent and to vindicate his claim to be considered a child of God, a joint-heir with Christ, a partaker in the inheritance which God has promised to them that love Him. If you cannot establish your sonship, you may doubt your right to... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Ezra 3:1-13

The leaders in this return were evidently conscious of the matters of real importance in the life of the people. Directly they were settled in their cities, the altar of God was established at Jerusalem. The statement, "For fear was upon them because of the people of the countries," has given rise to a great many different interpretations. Perhaps the one that harmonizes best with the whole story is that they were conscious of the fact that in their neglect of the altar of God in the past they... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Ezra 3:1-7

The First Observance Of The Feasts Of The Seventh Month After The Return (Ezra 3:1-7 ). It is probable that this is the first of the major feasts that the arrivees had been in a position to celebrate. (Had they been able to observe a Passover it would surely have been mentioned). Thus it occurred possibly in the seventh month in the first year of Cyrus king of Persia (Ezra 1:1), or alternately in the seventh month in the year in which they arrived. But the mention of the seventh month is not... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Ezra 3:4

The feast of tabernacles seems to be mentioned synecdochically for all the solemnities of this month, whereof this was the most eminent and most lasting. Otherwise it is not probable that they would neglect the day of atonement, which was so severely enjoined, Leviticus 23:27-29, and was so exceeding suitable to their present condition: See Poole "Ezra 3:6". The daily burnt-offerings, Heb. burnt-offerings day by day, i.e. every day of that feast they offered as many sacrifices as were... read more
