Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Ezra 3:2

_ _ Jeshua — the grandson of Seraiah, the high priest, put to death by Nebuchadnezzar at Riblah (2 Kings 25:18-21). His father, Josedech, had been carried captive to Babylon, and died there, some time before this.

_ _ Zerubbabel — was, according to the order of nature, son of Pedaiah (1 Chronicles 3:17-19); but having been brought up by Salathiel, he was called his son.

_ _ builded the altar of the God of Israel, to offer burnt offerings thereon — This was of urgent and immediate necessity, in order, first, to make atonement for their sins; secondly, to obtain the divine blessing on their preparations for the temple, as well as animate their feelings of piety and patriotism for the prosecution of that national work.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Ezra 3:1-7.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Ezra 3:2

Altar — Which was of more present 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.

; Bp. Patrick observes, that before the temple was built, there seems to have been a tabernacle pitched for Divine service, as was in David's time, not on mount Moriah, but mount Sion, to be used while the temple was building. Let us learn hence 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 immediately have a temple, but they would not be without an altar. Wherever a Christian goes, if he carry not with him the sacrifices of prayer and praise, he is wanting in his duty; for he has an altar ever ready that sanctifies both the gift and the giver.
