Ezra 2:68 Meaning and Commentary

Ezra 2:68

And some of the chief of the fathers, when they came to the
house of the Lord that is at Jerusalem
That is, when they came to the place where it formerly stood, and where were still the ruins of it:

offered freely for the house of God, to set it up in its place;
to rebuild it upon the spot where it formerly stood; this they did besides the freewill offerings they brought with them from Babylon.

Ezra 2:68 In-Context

66 Their horses numbered 736; their mules, 245;

67 their camels, 435; and their donkeys, 6,720.

68 Some of the heads of fathers' clans, when they came to the house of ADONAI in Yerushalayim, made voluntary offerings for rebuilding the house of God on its site.

69 According to their means they gave into the treasury for the work 61,000 gold darkmonim [about two-thirds of a ton], 5,000 manim of silver [just over three tons], and a hundred tunics for the cohanim.

70 So the cohanim, the L'vi'im, some of the people, the singers, the gatekeepers and the temple servants lived in their towns and all Isra'el in their towns.
