Esdras 5:16

Listen to Esdras 5:16
16 Entonces aquel Sesbasar vino y puso los cimientos de la casa de Dios que está en Jerusalén; y desde entonces hasta ahora se sigue construyendo, pero aún no está terminada."

Esdras 5:16 Meaning and Commentary

Ezra 5:16

Then came the same Sheshbazzar, and laid the foundation of the
house of God which is in Jerusalem
Which makes it clear, that by Sheshbazzar is meant Zerubbabel; for he it was that laid the foundation of the temple, or at least by whose order it was laid, see ( Zechariah 4:9 )

and since that time even until now;
from the first of Cyrus to the second of Darius, a space of about eighteen years, and just seventy from the destruction of the temple:

hath it been in building, and yet it is not finished;
the work going on slowly, not without interruption and intermission, through the enmity of the Samaritans unto them, who had made false representations of them; but these men, Tatnai and those with him, as the Jews gave them a very particular account of things, as above, so they fairly and fully related them in this their letter to the king.

Esdras 5:16 In-Context

14 También los utensilios de oro y de plata de la casa de Dios, que Nabucodonosor había sacado del templo que estaba en Jerusalén y llevado al templo de Babilonia, los sacó el rey Ciro del templo de Babilonia, y fueron entregados a Sesbasar, a quién había puesto por gobernador.
15 Y le dijo: "Toma estos utensilios, ve y colócalos en el templo que está en Jerusalén, y que sea la casa de Dios reedificada en su lugar.
16 Entonces aquel Sesbasar vino y puso los cimientos de la casa de Dios que está en Jerusalén; y desde entonces hasta ahora se sigue construyendo, pero aún no está terminada."
17 Y ahora, si al rey le parece bien, que se busque en la casa del tesoro del rey que está allí en Babilonia, a ver si es que fue proclamado un decreto de parte del rey Ciro para reedificar esta casa de Dios en Jerusalén; y que se nos envíe la decisión del rey en cuanto a este asunto.
