Esdras 6:22

22 Y con gozo celebraron por siete días la fiesta de los panes sin levadura, porque el SEÑOR los había llenado de regocijo, y había vuelto hacia ellos el corazón del rey de Asiria para animarlos en la obra de la casa de Dios, el Dios de Israel.

Esdras 6:22 Meaning and Commentary

Ezra 6:22

And kept the feast of unleavened bread seven days with joy,
&c.] Which immediately followed upon the passover, ( Exodus 12:18 Exodus 12:19 ) ,

for the Lord had made them joyful;
the building of the temple being finished, and the service of it restored to its original purity;

and turned the heart of the king of Assyria unto them, to strengthen
their hands in the work of the house of God, the God of Israel;
by giving them leave to go on in building the temple, and by encouraging and assisting them in it till they had finished it; this was Darius Artaxerxes, who, though called king of Persia, was also king of Assyria, being possessed of the Assyrian monarchy, as his predecessors were upon the taking of Babylon, and the same is therefore called also the king of Babylon, ( Nehemiah 13:6 ) . God, the God of Israel, who has the hearts of all men in his hands, and so the hearts of kings, and can turn them at his pleasure, inclined his heart to do them good, which was matter of joy unto them, see ( Ezra 7:27 ) .

Esdras 6:22 In-Context

20 Ya que los sacerdotes y los levitas se habían purificado juntamente, todos ellos estaban purificados, entonces mataron al cordero de la Pascua para todos los desterrados, tanto para sus hermanos los sacerdotes como para sí mismos.
21 Comieron la Pascua los hijos de Israel que habían vuelto del destierro y todos aquellos que se habían apartado de la impureza de las naciones de la tierra para unirse a ellos, para buscar al SEÑOR, Dios de Israel.
22 Y con gozo celebraron por siete días la fiesta de los panes sin levadura, porque el SEÑOR los había llenado de regocijo, y había vuelto hacia ellos el corazón del rey de Asiria para animarlos en la obra de la casa de Dios, el Dios de Israel.
