Commentary on Ezra 9:8
Ezra acknowledges recent mercy: 'And now for a little space grace hath been shewed from the LORD our God, to leave us a remnant to escape, and to give us a nail in his holy place.' The phrase 'little space' (brief time) contrasts seventy years exile with recent restoration. The word 'grace' (techinnah) emphasizes unmerited favor. The 'remnant' theology acknowledges that only a portion returned and only divine mercy preserved them. The metaphor 'nail in his holy place' suggests something secure and permanent—God gave them place in Jerusalem despite unworthiness.
