SEV Biblia, Chapter 3:8

¶ Y en el año segundo de su venida a la Casa de Dios en Jerusalén, en el mes segundo, comenzaron Zorobabel hijo de Salatiel, y Jesúa hijo de Josadac, y los otros sus hermanos, los sacerdotes y los levitas, y todos los que habían venido de la cautividad a Jerusalén; y pusieron a los levitas de veinte años arriba para que tuviesen cargo de la obra de la Casa del SEÑOR.

Clarke's Bible Commentary - Ezra 3:8

Verse 8. In the second year] The previous time had been employed in clearing the ground, felling timber, hewing
stones, and transporting them to the place, and making other necessary preparations for the commencement of the building.

John Gill's Bible Commentary

Ver. 8. Now in the second year of their coming unto the
house of God at Jerusalem , etc.] The place where it formerly stood; the Jews seem to have set out from Babylon, in the spring of the preceding year, as it was now of this; which to Jerusalem was a journey of about four months, as Ezra performed it, ( Ezra 7:9), but might take up longer time for such a body of people to do it in, being larger than that with him; wherefore, after they had visited their respective cities, and settled their affairs there, they came to Jerusalem on the seventh month, or September, and kept the feast of tabernacles, and then they returned to their cities again, the winter season being an improper time to begin the building of the temple; having given money to workmen to purchase materials with, and no doubt left a sufficient number to clear away the rubbish, and get things ready by the returning spring to set about the work: in the second month ; the mouth Ijar, as Jarchi observes, answering to part of April and May, having, as may be supposed, kept the passover the month before: began Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, and Jeshua the son of Jozadak : the prince, and the high priest: and the remnant of their brethren, the priests and Levites, and all they that were come out of the captivity unto Jerusalem ; whose names and numbers are given in the preceding chapter: and appointed the Levites from twenty years old and upwards to set forward the work of the house of the Lord ; to put men to work upon it, and direct them what to do, and urge them to attend closely to it; ever since David’s time the Levites were employed at twenty years of age, when before not till thirty, or twenty five; (see 1 Chronicles 23:24).

Matthew Henry Commentary

Verses 8-13 - There was a remarkable mixture of affections upon laying the foundatio of the
temple. Those that only knew the misery of having no temple a all, praised the Lord with shouts of joy. To them, even this foundatio seemed great. We ought to be thankful for the beginnings of mercy though it be not yet perfect. But those who remembered the glory of the first temple, and considered how far inferior this was likely to be wept with a loud voice. There was reason for it, and if they bewaile the sin that was the cause of this melancholy change, they did well Yet it was wrong to cast a damp upon the common joys. They despised the day of small things, and were unthankful for the good they enjoyed. Le not the remembrance of former afflictions drown the sense of presen mercies __________________________________________________________________
