SEV Biblia, Chapter 1:8
Los sacó, pues , Ciro rey de Persia, por mano de Mitrídates tesorero, el cual los dio por cuenta a Sesbasar príncipe de Judá.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Ezra 1:8
Verse 8. Sheshbazzar, the prince of Judah.] This was probably the Chaldean name of him who was originally called ZerubbHebel: the former signifies joy in affliction; the latter, a stranger in Babylon. The latter may be designed to refer to his captive state; the former, to the prospect of release. Some think this was quite a different person, a Persian or Chaldean, sent by Cyrus to superintend whatever officers or men Cyrus might have sent to assist the Jews on their return; and to procure them help in the Chaldean provinces, through which they might be obliged to travel.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 8. Even these did Cyrus king of Persia bring forth by the hand of Mithredath the treasurer , etc.] Or Mithridates, a name common with the Persians, from their god Mithras, the sun they worshipped: and numbered them unto Sheshbazzar prince of Judah ; delivered them by tale to him; who, according to the Jewish rabbins, as Jarchi says, was Daniel, who was so called, because he stood in six tribulations; but it does not appear that Daniel went up to Jerusalem with the captivity, as this man did, but remained at Babylon; rather, with Aben Ezra, it is best by him to understand Zerubbabel, who did go up, and was the prince of Judah; and Cyrus, in his letter to the governors of Syria, expressly says, that he delivered the vessels to Zerubbabel, the prince of the Jews. He had two names, Sheshbazzar, which signifies he rejoiced in tribulation, and Zerubbabel, which signifies either the seed of Babylon, being born there, or dispersed, or a stranger there, as others.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 5-11 - The same God that raised up the spirit of Cyrus to proclaim liberty to the Jews, raised up their spirits to take the benefit. The temptatio was to some to stay in Babylon; but some feared not to return, and the were those whose spirits God raised, by his Spirit and grace. Whateve good we do, is owing to the grace of God. Our spirits naturally bo down to this earth and the things of it; if they move upward in an good affections or good actions, it is God who raises them. The call and offers of the gospel are like the proclamation of Cyrus. Thos bound under the power of sin, may be made free by Jesus Christ Whosoever will, by repentance and faith, return to God, Jesus Chris has opened the way for him, and raises him out of the slavery of sin into the glorious liberty of the children of God. Many that hear thi joyful sound, choose to sit still in Babylon, are in love with their sins, and will not venture upon a holy life; but some break through all discouragements, whatever it cost them; they are those whose spirit God has raised above the world and the flesh, whom he has made willing Thus will the heavenly Canaan be filled, though many perish in Babylon and the gospel offer will not have been made in vain. The bringing bac the Jews from captivity, represents the redemption of sinners by Jesu Christ __________________________________________________________________
