Esdra 3:3

Listen to Esdra 3:3
3 E rizzarono l’Altare sopra la sua pianta; perchè aveano spavento de’ popoli de’ paesi vicini; ed offersero sopra esso olocausti al Signore: gli olocausti della mattina e della sera.

Esdra 3:3 Meaning and Commentary

Ezra 3:3

And they set the altar upon his bases
Which might remain of the old altar; or the meaning is, that it was fixed and settled on the same spot where it stood before:

for fear was upon them, because of the people of those countries;
and therefore they hastened to erect an altar, and offer sacrifices to the Lord, in hope that he would appear for them, and help them against their enemies; or rather, as some render the words F17 "though fear was upon them" yet they were not deterred from the work, worship, and service of God:

and they offered burnt offerings unto the Lord, even burnt offerings,
morning and evening;
the daily sacrifice, as directed to ( Exodus 29:38 Exodus 29:39 ) .

Esdra 3:3 In-Context

1 ORA, quando fu giunto il settimo mese, i figliuoli d’Israele abitando nelle lor città, il popolo si adunò di pari consentimento in Gerusalemme.
2 Allora, Iesua, figliuolo di Iosadac, si levò su, co’ sacerdoti, suoi fratelli; e Zorobabel, figliuolo di Sealtiel, co’ suoi fratelli; e riedificarono l’Altare dell’Iddio d’Israele, per offerire sopra esso gli olocausti, come è scritto nella Legge di Mosè, uomo di Dio.
3 E rizzarono l’Altare sopra la sua pianta; perchè aveano spavento de’ popoli de’ paesi vicini; ed offersero sopra esso olocausti al Signore: gli olocausti della mattina e della sera.
4 Celebrarono eziandio la festa de’ tabernacoli, come è scritto; ed offersero olocausti per ciascun giorno in certo numero, secondo che è ordinato giorno per giorno.
5 E dopo questo offersero l’olocausto continuo, e quelli delle calendi, e di tutte le feste solenni del Signore, le quali sono santificate; e quelli di tutti coloro che offerivano alcuna offerta volontaria al Signore.
