4 notes on this verseon Ezra 3:2-7
Or rather let them learn of you, who are so well instructed in such histories, how that Jeshua the son of Josedek the priest, and his brother, and Zerubbabel the wise, the son of Salathiel, and Ezra the priest and scribe of the law, as the temple was being built after the captivity, the feast of tabernacles being at hand (which was a great feast and time of assembly and prayer in Israel), gathered the people together with one accord in the great court within the first gate, which is toward the east, and prepared the altar to God, and there offered their gifts and kept the feast.
This site's exposition
the feast of tabernacles
on Ezra 3:4-6
They keep the feast of tabernacles as it is written, offering the daily burnt offering by number according to the custom of each day, then add the offerings of the new moons and every freewill offering besides. Verse six carries the point the whole chapter is built on: offerings begin from the first day of the seventh month, but the foundation of the temple of the Lord was not yet laid. The altar and the calendar of feasts run a full season ahead of any wall or roof.
The record, by era
The Puritans and the Awakening2 voices
The law required much, but they brought more; for, though they had little wealth to support the expense of their sacrifices, they had much zeal, and, we may suppose, spared at their own tables that they might plentifully supply God's altar. Happy are those that bring with them out of the furnace of affliction such a holy heat as this.
on Ezra 3:4-5
Of the services of this feast, which continued seven days and had peculiar sacrifices appointed, it is said that they did as the duty of every day required (see Num. xxix. 13, 17 , &c.), Verbum die in die suo--the word, or matter, of the day in its day (so it is in the original)--a phrase that has become proverbial with those that have used themselves to scripture-language.
