Ezra 6:13-15

13 igitur Tatannai dux regionis trans Flumen et Starbuzannai et consiliarii eius secundum quod praeceperat Darius rex sic diligenter exsecuti sunt

14 seniores autem Iudaeorum aedificabant et prosperabantur iuxta prophetiam Aggei prophetae et Zacchariae filii Addo et aedificaverunt et construxerunt iubente Deo Israhel et iubente Cyro et Dario et Artarxerse regibus Persarum

15 et conpleverunt domum Dei istam usque ad diem tertium mensis adar qui est annus sextus regni Darii regis

Ezra 6:13-15 Meaning and Commentary

INTRODUCTION TO EZRA 6

Darius, on receiving the letter from his officers in Samaria, searched for the decree of Cyrus, and found it, and which he confirmed, Ezr 6:1-7 and made a fresh decree, and ordered expenses to be given out of his tribute for the building of the temple, and for the sacrifices of it; and that whosoever altered it should be hanged on the timber of his own house, and imprecated a curse on those that should destroy the house of God, Ezr 6:8-12 upon which the building went on, and was finished, Ezr 6:13-15 and the temple was dedicated to God in a solemn manner, Ezr 6:16-18, and the passover was kept by all the people, Ezr 6:19-22.
