Commentary on Ezra 6:7
Darius's command—'Let the work of this house of God alone'—orders non-interference. The phrase 'let the governor of the Jews and the elders of the Jews build this house of God in his place' grants autonomy for Jewish religious leadership to direct the project. This represents remarkable liberty—imperial power protecting minority religion's self-governance. God's sovereignty secures religious freedom through pagan rulers, demonstrating that civil authority can protect rather than threaten faithful worship.
