Commentary
Gill's Exposition
In the first year of Cyrus the king; the same Cyrus the king made a decree concerning the house of God at Jerusalem, let the house be builded,.... See Ezr 1:1 , the place where they offered sacrifices; to God in times past, ever
since it was built by Solomon: and let the foundations thereof be strongly laid; so as to bear and support the building erected on them, as the word signifies: the height thereof sixty cubits; which were thirty more than the height of Solomon's temple, Kg1 6:2 though sixty less than the height of the porch, which was one hundred and twenty, Ch2 3:4 and which some take to be the height of the whole house; and hence it may be observed what Herod said (y), that the temple then in being wanted sixty cubits in height of that of Solomon's: and the breadth thereof sixty cubits; whereas the breadth of Solomon's temple was but twenty, Kg1 6:2 , but since it cannot reasonably be thought that the breadth should be equal to the height, and so very disproportionate to Solomon's temple; many learned men understand this of the extension of it as to length, which exactly agrees with the length of the former temple, Kg1 6:2 .
