Commentary on Ezra 6:3
The quotation preserves Cyrus's specific authorization: 'let the house be builded... the place where they offered sacrifices.' This validates that temple rebuilding had imperial authorization from the beginning. The specifications for 'height thereof threescore cubits, and the breadth thereof threescore cubits' provided formal parameters. Cyrus's decree distinguished legitimate worship (temple) from rebellion (fortifications), addressing Persian security concerns while enabling Jewish religious life.
