Ezra 6:7

7 et dimittite fieri templum Dei illud a duce Iudaeorum et a senioribus eorum domum Dei illam aedificent in loco suo

Ezra 6:7 Meaning and Commentary

Ezra 6:7

Let the work of this house of God alone
Suffer them to go on with it, and do not hinder them; it looks, by these expressions, as if he had some suspicion or hint given him that they were inclined to molest them, or that there were some that stirred them up to it, and were desirous of it:

let the governor of the Jews, and the elders of the Jews, build this
house of God in his place;
where it formerly stood; that is, go on with the building of it.

Ezra 6:7 In-Context

5 sed et vasa templi Dei aurea et argentea quae Nabuchodonosor tulerat de templo Hierusalem et adtulerat ea in Babylonem reddantur et referantur in templo Hierusalem in locum suum quae et posita sunt in templo Dei

6 nunc ergo Tatannai dux regionis quae est trans Flumen Starbuzannai et consiliarii vestri Apharsacei qui estis trans Flumen procul recedite ab illis

7 et dimittite fieri templum Dei illud a duce Iudaeorum et a senioribus eorum domum Dei illam aedificent in loco suo

8 sed et a me praeceptum est quid oporteat fieri a presbyteris Iudaeorum illis ut aedificetur domus Dei scilicet ut de arca regis id est de tributis quae dantur de regione trans Flumen studiose sumptus dentur viris illis ne inpediatur opus

9 quod si necesse fuerit et vitulos et agnos et hedos in holocaustum Deo caeli frumentum sal vinum et oleum secundum ritum sacerdotum qui sunt in Hierusalem detur eis per dies singulos ne sit in aliquo querimonia
