Esdras 6:2 Meaning and Commentary

Ezra 6:2

And there was found at Achmetha
Which Jarchi and Aben Ezra take to be the name of a vessel in which letters and writings were put for safety; but it was no doubt the name of a place; the Vulgate Latin version has it Ecbatana; and so Josephus F19; which was the name of a city in Media, where the kings of that country had their residence in the summer time F20; for it has its name from heat F21; the Persian kings dwelt at Shushan in the winter, and at Ecbatana in the summer {w}; hence they are compared by Aelian F24 to cranes, birds of passage, because of their going to and from the above places:

in the palace that is in the province of the Medes,
here was found

a roll;
which was the decree of Cyrus, which perhaps he took with him when he went thither:

and therein was a record thus written;
as follows.

3 En el a帽o primero del rey Ciro, el mismo rey Ciro di贸 mandamiento acerca de la casa de Dios que estaba en Jerusalem, que fuese la casa edificada para lugar en que sacrifiquen sacrificios, y que sus paredes fuesen cubiertas; su altura de sesenta codos, y de sesenta codos su anchura;
4 Los 贸rdenes, tres de piedra de m谩rmol, y un orden de madera nueva y que el gasto sea dado de la casa del rey.
5 Y tambi茅n los vasos de oro y de plata de la casa de Dios, que Nabucodonosor sac贸 del templo que estaba en Jerusalem y los pas贸 谩 Babilonia, sean devueltos y vayan al templo que est谩 en Jerusalem, 谩 su lugar, y sean puestos en la casa de Dios.
