Commentaries on Ezra 1:10

• Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 5-11Verses 5-11 The same God that raised up the spirit of Cyrus to proclaim liberty to the Jews, raised up their spirits to take the benefit.

But it may be doubted whether the Hebrew word rendered cut in pieces, does not signify merely cut off, that is, from further use in the temple.Read the comment
