Esdras 6:22

22 Luego celebraron el Festival de los Panes sin Levadura durante siete días. Hubo mucha alegría en toda la tierra, porque el Señor
había hecho que el rey de Asiria
les diera su favor al ayudarlos a reconstruir el templo de Dios, el Dios de Israel.

Esdras 6:22 Meaning and Commentary

Ezra 6:22

And kept the feast of unleavened bread seven days with joy,
&c.] Which immediately followed upon the passover, ( Exodus 12:18 Exodus 12:19 ) ,

for the Lord had made them joyful;
the building of the temple being finished, and the service of it restored to its original purity;

and turned the heart of the king of Assyria unto them, to strengthen
their hands in the work of the house of God, the God of Israel;
by giving them leave to go on in building the temple, and by encouraging and assisting them in it till they had finished it; this was Darius Artaxerxes, who, though called king of Persia, was also king of Assyria, being possessed of the Assyrian monarchy, as his predecessors were upon the taking of Babylon, and the same is therefore called also the king of Babylon, ( Nehemiah 13:6 ) . God, the God of Israel, who has the hearts of all men in his hands, and so the hearts of kings, and can turn them at his pleasure, inclined his heart to do them good, which was matter of joy unto them, see ( Ezra 7:27 ) .

Esdras 6:22 In-Context

20 Los sacerdotes y los levitas se habían purificado y estaban ceremonialmente puros. Así que mataron el cordero de la Pascua para todos los que regresaron del destierro, para sus hermanos sacerdotes y para ellos mismos.

21 El pueblo de Israel que había regresado del destierro comió la cena de Pascua junto con los demás de la tierra que habían dejado sus costumbres inmorales para adorar al Señor
, Dios de Israel.

22 Luego celebraron el Festival de los Panes sin Levadura durante siete días. Hubo mucha alegría en toda la tierra, porque el Señor
había hecho que el rey de Asiria
les diera su favor al ayudarlos a reconstruir el templo de Dios, el Dios de Israel.
