Commentary

Notes on Ezra 8:30 from classic Christian and Jewish commentators (each source and its license shown beneath its notes). The classic Christian expositions comment on the surrounding passage and are grouped to its opening verse, so a note may address several verses; the Jewish commentaries on the Tanakh (Rashi and others) are per-verse, so they appear only where the commentator wrote on this verse.

Trapp's Complete Commentary

John Trapp

Ezr 8:30 So took the priests and the Levites the weight of the silver, and the gold, and the vessels, to bring [them] to Jerusalem unto the house of our God.

Ver. 30. So took the priests and the Levites] The great charge committed to them, and laid upon them, did not weaken, but waken, their heroic spirits.

30. So look the priests and the Levites] R.V. So the priests and the Levites received. This expression goes to prove that the body of men to whom Ezra entrusted the precious things consisted of two groups of twelve, the one priests the other Levites (see on Ezr_8:24).

John Gill's Exposition

Then we departed from the river of Ahava, on the twelfth day of the first month, to go unto Jerusalem,.... The month Nisan, answering to part of March and part of April; this was two days before the passover began:

and the hand of our God was upon us; guiding, directing, and protecting them by his providence:

and he delivered us from the hand of the enemy, and of such as lay in wait by the way; either by intimidating them, that they dared not attack them, or by directing them to take a different road, whereby they escaped them, see Ezr 8:22.

Ezra, in the Historical, opens this verse with 11 words (11 distinct Hebrew lemmas). Its most distinctive word is qâbal (“to receive”). A historical commentator’s framing appears above. Read the whole chapter for the surrounding context.

Discussion questions

  1. What does “to receive” (qâbal) contribute to the verse as a whole?
  2. How does Exodus 26:5, which shares the word «to receive», read alongside this verse?
  3. The translations on this page render this verse differently — a whole-verse word diff, not a word-by-word alignment. What might account for the different wordings?
  4. «וְקִבְּלוּ֙» is a Piel Perfect verb. How does that grammatical form shape the action described?
  5. Compare how Trapp's Complete Commentary and The Cambridge Bible for Schools and Colleges read this verse. Where do they agree or differ?
