| Ezra 6:4 | Three rows of unpolished stones, and so rows of new timber: and the charges shall be given out of the king's house. | Unpolished, to correspond with the polished stones and cedar employed by Solomon, 3 Kings 6:36. (Menochius) --- Protestants, "great stones." See 1 Esdras 5:8. --- Charges. It appears that the Jews furnished money and meat to pay for the wood, 1 Esdras 1:4., and 3:7. Some annual sum might be assigned by Cyrus, either for the building, or for the daily holocausts. (Calmet) |
