Ezra 3:2
简体中文
大祭司耶书亚是约萨达的儿子；约萨达曾被尼布甲尼撒掳去(1 Chronicles 6:15)。
所罗巴伯实际上是毗大雅的儿子；毗大雅是撒拉铁（或作萨拉铁，Salathiel）的弟弟。但撒拉铁没有儿子，王统便由他的侄儿所罗巴伯延续，因此所罗巴伯被算为撒拉铁的儿子。

Ezra 3:8
简体中文
“到了神的殿”——意即到了神的殿原先所在之处，也就是人们相信神仍特别居住的地方。
“并使利未人监督”——这是本节的强调所在。尽管从巴比伦归回的利未人数目如此之少(Ezra 2:40)，他们仍被特别挑选出来，受托监督并推进圣殿的建造工程。

Ezra 3:12
简体中文
“哭号……欢呼”——可参看边注及 Zechariah 4:10。这里暗示第二圣殿的规模小于第一圣殿，因此有些人心中生出悲伤。至于那些未曾见过旧殿、无从比较两殿的人，看见他们宗教的圣所开始从废墟中重新立起，自然欢喜快乐。
영문 원문
Wept ... shouted ... for joy - Compare the marginal reference and Zechariah 4:10. It is implied that the dimensions of the second temple were smaller than those of the first. Hence, the feeling of sorrow which came upon some. They, however, who had not seen the former temple, and so could not contrast the two, naturally rejoiced to see the sanctuary of their religion begin to rise from its ruins.
“七月”——即提斯利月（约当今公历九月），是犹太一年中最神圣的月份(Exodus 23:16; Leviticus 23:24-41)。
