3 No primeiro ano do rei Ciro, o rei Ciro baixou um decreto com respeito � casa de Deus em Jerusalém: Seja edificada a casa, o lugar em que se oferecem sacrifícios, e sejam os seus fundamentos bem firmes; a sua altura será de sessenta côvados, e a sua largura de sessenta côvados,

Esdras 6:3 Meaning and Commentary

Ezra 6:3

In the first year of Cyrus the king; the same Cyrus the king
made a decree concerning the house of God at Jerusalem, let the house
be builded
See ( Ezra 1:1-4 ) ( Isaiah 44:28 ) ,

the place where they offered sacrifices;
to God in times past, ever since it was built by Solomon:

and let the foundations thereof be strongly laid;
so as to bear and support the building erected on them, as the word signifies:

the height thereof sixty cubits;
which were thirty more than the height of Solomon's temple, ( 1 Kings 6:2 ) though sixty less than the height of the porch, which was one hundred and twenty, ( 2 Chronicles 3:4 ) and which some take to be the height of the whole house; and hence it may be observed what Herod said F25, that the temple then in being wanted sixty cubits in height of that of Solomon's:

and the breadth thereof sixty cubits;
whereas the breadth of Solomon's temple was but twenty, ( 1 Kings 6:2 ) , but since it cannot reasonably be thought that the breadth should be equal to the height, and so very disproportionate to Solomon's temple; many learned men understand this of the extension of it as to length, which exactly agrees with the length of the former temple, ( 1 Kings 6:2 ) .

Esdras 6:3 In-Context

1 EntĂŁo o rei Dario o decretou, e foi feita uma busca nos arquivos onde se guardavam os tesouros em BabilĂ´nia.
2 E em Ecbatana, a capital, que está na província da Média, se achou um rolo, e nele estava escrito um memorial, que dizia assim:
3 No primeiro ano do rei Ciro, o rei Ciro baixou um decreto com respeito � casa de Deus em Jerusalém: Seja edificada a casa, o lugar em que se oferecem sacrifícios, e sejam os seus fundamentos bem firmes; a sua altura será de sessenta côvados, e a sua largura de sessenta côvados,
4 com três carreiras de grandes pedras, e uma carreira de madeira nova; e a despesa se fará do tesouro do rei.
5 Além disso sejam restituídos os utensílios de ouro e de prata da casa de Deus, que Nabucodonozor tirou do templo em Jerusalém e levou para Babilônia, e que se tornem a levar para o templo em Jerusalém, cada um para o seu lugar, e tu os porás na casa de Deus.'
