Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Ezra 3:1

When the seventh month was come, or rather, was coming, or drew near; for the altar was set up after this time, Ezra 3:3, which yet was employed the first day of this month, Ezra 3:6. This was a sacred kind of month, wherein there were divers festivals, as appears from Leviticus 23:0 for which the people had been preparing themselves, and now came to Jerusalem to the celebration of them. read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Ezra 3:2

Jeshua the son of Jozadak, the high priest. The son of Shealtiel, i.e. the grandson; for he was the son of Pedaiah, 1 Chronicles 3:17-19. Built the altar; which was of more present and urgent 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, wherein they saw they should have many enemies. 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

To offer burnt-offerings, and the other sacrifices which were to be offered with them upon that day, being the feast of trumpets, Numbers 29:1, &c. Burnt-offerings are oft put for all sacrifices, as hath been observed once and again. The foundation of the temple was not yet laid; though it is probable they had done something towards the removing of the rubbish, and preparing the way for it. read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Ezra 3:11

Ezra 3:11 Notice four marks or features in the book of Ezra. I. The faithful people of God set up the altar on its bases. The foundation of the Temple was not yet laid; the walls were all down, the houses in confusion: that was the condition of Jerusalem. There was the altar standing solitary, there the Israelites offered the daily sacrifice, and thus they began on their return to build up the Church of God. II. Having secured the altar and the daily sacrifice, they proposed to build the... read more

DISCOURSE: 433THE REBUILDING OF THE TEMPLEEzra 3:11-13. All the people shouted with a great shout, when they praised the Lord, because the foundation of the house of the Lord was laid. But many of the priests and Levites and chief of the fathers, who were ancient men, that had seen the first house, when the foundation of this house was laid before their eyes, wept with a loud voice; and many shouted aloud for joy: so that the people could not discern the noise of the shout of joy from the noise... read more
