SEV Biblia, Chapter 3:2
Entonces se levantó Jesúa hijo de Josadac, y sus hermanos los sacerdotes, y Zorobabel hijo de Salatiel, y sus hermanos, y edificaron el altar del Dios de Israel, para ofrecer sobre él holocaustos como está escrito en la ley de Moisés varón de Dios.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Ezra 3:2
Verse 2. Jeshua the son of Jozadak] He was grandson of Seraiah the high priest, who was put to death by Nebuchadnezzar, 2 Kings xxv. 18, 21. This Jeshua or Joshua was the first high priest after the captivity.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 2. Then stood up Jeshua the son of Jozadak , etc.] Who was the high priest, and the proper person to give the lead in the following work: and his brethren the priests ; the common priests, very fit to join him, and assist him in it: and Zerubbabel, the son of Shealtiel ; the prince and governor of Judah, whose presence was necessary to give countenance to the work, and animate to it: and his brethren ; the princes and heads of the people, particularly those mentioned ( Ezra 2:2) and builded the altar of the God of Israel ; the altar of burnt offering, gave orders for the building of it, and directions about it: to offer burnt offerings thereon, as it is written in the law of Moses the man of God ; or prophet of God, as the Syriac version; (see Leviticus 1:1-17).
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 1-7 - From the proceedings of the Jews on their arrival, let us learn to begin with God, and to do what we can in the worship of God, when we cannot do what we would. They could not at once have a temple, but the would not be without an altar. Fear of danger should stir us to ou duty. Have we many enemies? Then it is good to have God our Friend, an to keep up communion with him. Our fears should drive us to our knees The sacrifices for all these solemnities were a heavy expense for s poor a company; yet besides those expressly appointed, many brough free-will offerings to the Lord. And they made preparation for the building of the temple without delay: whatever God calls us to do, we may depend upon his providence to furnish us with the needful means.
