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:

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 The horses of them were six hundred and six and thirty; the mules of them, four hundred and five and forty;

67 the camels of them, four hundred and five and thirty; the asses of them, six thousand seven hundred and twenty.

68 And of the princes of [the] fathers, when they entered into the temple of the Lord, that is, the place where the temple was, (or formerly had been,) which is in Jerusalem, they offered of their free will into the house of God, to build it (again) in his place; (And the leaders of the families of the tribes, when they went to the place in Jerusalem where the Temple of the Lord had been, offered their free will offerings to help rebuild the House of God, in its former place;)

69 they gave by their mights (for) the costs of the work, one and forty thousand pieces of gold; and five thousand bezants of silver; and priests? clothes an hundred. (they gave out of their wealth for the costs, or the expenses, of the work, sixty-one thousand pieces of gold, and five thousand bezants of silver, and a hundred priests? garments.)

70 Therefore (the) priests, and deacons of the people, and singers, and porters, and Nethinims dwelled in their cities, and all Israel in their cities. (And so the priests, and the Levites, and some of the people lived in Jerusalem, and the singers, and the guards, or the doorkeepers, and the Temple workers, lived in their cities, and all the other Israelites lived in their cities.)
