Wesley's Notes for Ezra 3:10

3:9 Joshua - Not the high - priest so called, but a Levite, of whom see chap.#2:40|. To set forward - To encourage them to a vigorous prosecution of the work.

3:11 Sung - That everlasting hymn, which will never be out of date, and to which our tongue should never be out of tune, the burden of #Psalm 136:1 |- 26. Whatever our condition is, let it be owned, that God is good, and whatever fails, that his mercy fails not.

3:12 Had seen - Which divers of them might well do; because it was destroyed not sixty years ago. Wept - Because of the poor preparations made for this, in comparison of what was made for the other temple: because this was destitute of those things which were the principal glory of the former temple, namely, the ark, and the Urim and Thummim; because these foundation - stones were far inferior to the former, both for quantity and price, #1Kings 7:9|,10, and because these foundations were of a far narrower compass than the former: for although the foundations of this house of the Lord, strictly so called, were of equal largeness with those of the former, yet the foundations of the whole building belonging to the first temple, were far larger than these.
