EZRA 6
THE TEMPLE COMPLETED + DEDICATED TO GOD
By request of the current king (Darius), the archives are searched for documents proving that the previous king (Cyrus) sanctioned the rebuilding of the temple. In the archives, a scroll is found proving that Cyrus made a decree for God’s house to be rebuilt in Jerusalem.
After hearing this news, the Israelites complete the temple and dedicate it to the Lord. All of the Israelites, even the exiles who had not fully returned to Jerusalem, celebrate the dedication of the new temple and offer sacrifices to God.
The Israelites in Jerusalem, joined by many foreigners who turned to God, celebrate the Passover together.
STUDY QUESTIONS
King Cyrus made the original decree to rebuild the temple, but opposition from local officials caused the work to be halted for a time. How did King Darius use Cyrus’ initial decree to allow the Israelites to continue their work on the temple (Ezra 6:1–12)?
Read Ezra 6:21. Who was included in the Passover celebration? Why is this significant?
