以斯拉记 6:16 CUVS

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Ezra 6:1-22

There can be no doubt that Tattenai felt that finding such a decree was unlikely, if not impossible. That the search must have been thorough is indicated by the place where the roll was found. The searchers naturally commenced in the house of the archives in Babylon, but it was not there. It was found at Achmetha, in the royal palace. It is interesting to think how easily it might not have been found. Naturally, if such a document was not found in the proper libraries, men would abandon their... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Ezra 6:13-18

The Decree Is Carried Out And The Work On The Temple Is Completed Accompanied By Due Ceremony (Ezra 6:13-18 ). Ezra 6:13 ‘Then Tattenai, the governor of Beyond the River, Shethar-bozenai, and their companions, because Darius the king had sent, did accordingly with all diligence.’ The carrying out of the decree is summarised in one verse. Because Darius had sent his decree, Tattenai and his associates, responded with due diligence and fulfilled all that was required. Ezra 6:14 ‘And the elders... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Ezra 6:13-18

Ezra 6:13-Job : . The Carrying out of the Decree; the Temple Completed and Dedicated. Ezra 6:14 . This cannot be in its original form; the success of the building is ascribed both to the commandment of God and to the decrees of Cyrus, Darius, and Artaxerxes; this is not the way of a Jewish writer. One can, of course, by doing violence to the thought of the verse, explain it by saying that the promulgating of the decrees was according to the will of God; but this is pressing a meaning into the... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Ezra 6:1-22

Chapter 6So Darius the king made a decree, and search was made in the house of the rolls, where the treasures were laid up in Babylon. And there was found at Achmetha, in the palace that is in the province of the Medes, a roll, and there was the record written: In the first year of Cyrus the king the same Cyrus the king made a decree concerning the house of God at Jerusalem, Let the house be builded, the place where they offered sacrifices, and let the foundations thereof be strongly laid; the... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Ezra 6:1-22

Ezra 6:2 . There was found at Achmetha, that is, Ecbatana, the capital of Media, as in the Vulgate, the city where the archives were kept; a roll of the parchment. Revelation 7:1. “(?)” [Revelation 5:1-8 ] Ezra 6:10 . Pray for the life of the king and of his sons. This duty is everywhere enjoined in scripture.
