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 Tambi茅n hizo sacar del templo de Babilonia los utensilios de oro y de plata que Nabucodonosor se hab铆a llevado del templo de Jerusal茅n y hab铆a puesto en el templo de Babilonia, y se los entreg贸 a Sesbasar, a quien hab铆a nombrado gobernador.
15 Ciro, pues, orden贸 a Sesbasar que tomara esos utensilios y los devolviera al templo de Jerusal茅n, y que reedificara en el mismo sitio el templo de Dios.
16 Entonces Sesbasar lleg贸 a Jerusal茅n y ech贸 los cimientos del templo de Dios. Desde entonces se ha estado trabajando en su reconstrucci贸n, pero a煤n no se ha terminado禄.
17 Ahora bien, si Su Majestad lo considera conveniente, pedimos que se investiguen los archivos donde est谩n las cr贸nicas de los reyes de Babilonia, para saber si es verdad que el rey Ciro orden贸 la reconstrucci贸n del templo de Dios en Jerusal茅n. Adem谩s, solicitamos que se nos d茅 a conocer la decisi贸n de Su Majestad con respecto a este asunto.
