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 Ele atĂ© mesmo tirou do templo da BabilĂŽnia os utensĂ­lios de ouro e de prata da casa de Deus, os quais Nabucodonosor havia tirado do templo de JerusalĂ©m e levado para o templo da BabilĂŽnia.“ ‘O rei Ciro os confiou a um homem chamado Sesbazar, que ele tinha nomeado governador,
15 e lhe disse: “Leve estes utensĂ­lios, coloque-os no templo de JerusalĂ©m e reconstrua a casa de Deus em seu antigo local”.
16 EntĂŁo Sesbazar veio e lançou os alicerces do templo de Deus em JerusalĂ©m. Desde aquele dia o templo tem estado em construção, mas ainda nĂŁo foi concluĂ­do’.
17 “Agora, se for do agrado do rei, que se faça uma pesquisa nos arquivos reais da BabilĂŽnia para verificar se o rei Ciro de fato emitiu um decreto ordenando a reconstrução da casa de Deus em JerusalĂ©m. Aguardamos do rei a decisĂŁo sobre o assunto”.
