Esdras 4:3

Listen to Esdras 4:3
3 Responderam-lhes, porém, Zorobabel e Jesuá e os outros chefes das casas paternas de Israel: Não convém que vós e nós edifiquemos casa a nosso Deus: mas nós sozinhos a edificaremos ao Senhor, Deus de Israel, como nos ordenou o rei Ciro, rei da Pérsia.

Esdras 4:3 Meaning and Commentary

Ezra 4:3

But Zerubbabel, and Joshua, and the rest of the chief of the
fathers, said unto them
The prince and high priest, and chief of the people:

you have nothing to do with us to build an house to our God;
being neither of the same nation, nor of the same religion:

but we ourselves together will build to the Lord God of Israel;
we and we only, who are together as one man, united in one body of people, and in the same religious sentiments, being Israelites; we separately, without admitting strangers among us, will build a temple to the God of Israel:

as King Cyrus, the king of Persia, hath commanded us;
thereby letting them know that they acted by his authority, and the commission they had from him only concerned themselves, and not others.

Esdras 4:3 In-Context

1 Ora, ouvindo os adversários de Judá e de Benjamim que os que tornaram do cativeiro edificavam o templo ao Senhor, Deus de Israel,
2 chegaram-se a Zorobabel e aos chefes das casas paternas, e disseram-lhes: Deixai-nos edificar convosco; pois, como vós, buscamos o vosso Deus; como também nós lhe temos sacrificado desde os dias de Esar-Hadom, rei da Assíria, que nos fez subir para aqui.
3 Responderam-lhes, porém, Zorobabel e Jesuá e os outros chefes das casas paternas de Israel: Não convém que vós e nós edifiquemos casa a nosso Deus: mas nós sozinhos a edificaremos ao Senhor, Deus de Israel, como nos ordenou o rei Ciro, rei da Pérsia.
4 Então o povo da terra debilitava as mãos do povo de Judá, e os inquietava, impedindo-os de edificar;
5 e assalariaram contra eles conselheiros para frustrarem o seu plano, por todos os dias de Ciro, rei da Pérsia, até o reinado de Dario, rei da Pérsia.
