All the officers and all the people
This phrase highlights the unity and collective effort of the community in supporting the temple's restoration. The Hebrew word for "officers" (שָׂרִים, sarim) often refers to leaders or princes, indicating that those in positions of authority were leading by example. The inclusion of "all the people" (כָּל־הָעָם, kol-ha'am) emphasizes the widespread participation and communal responsibility in the religious life of Israel. This collective action reflects a society that values its spiritual heritage and is willing to invest in its preservation.

rejoiced
The Hebrew root for "rejoiced" (שָׂמַח, samach) conveys a deep sense of joy and gladness. This joy is not merely a superficial emotion but a profound expression of worship and gratitude. The people's rejoicing signifies their recognition of the importance of the temple and their willingness to contribute to its upkeep. It also reflects a spiritual revival, as the act of giving becomes an occasion for celebration and communal unity.

brought their contributions
The act of bringing contributions (הָבִיאוּ, haviy'u) is significant in the context of ancient Israelite worship. Contributions, often in the form of money or valuable goods, were essential for the maintenance of the temple and the support of its services. This phrase underscores the voluntary and generous nature of the people's offerings. It is a testament to their commitment to God and their desire to see His house restored to its former glory.

dropped them in the chest
The chest (אָרוֹן, aron) served as a collection box for the contributions. This method of collection ensured transparency and accountability in the handling of the funds. The act of dropping contributions into the chest symbolizes a transfer of personal resources for a communal and sacred purpose. It reflects a trust in the religious leaders to use the funds wisely and a shared vision for the temple's restoration.

until it was full
The phrase "until it was full" (עַד־לְמָלֵא, ad-le'male) indicates the abundance of the contributions. The overflowing chest is a powerful image of the people's generosity and the success of the fundraising effort. It suggests that the people's hearts were moved to give beyond what was necessary, demonstrating their dedication to the temple and their faith in God's provision. This abundance can be seen as a divine blessing, affirming the community's commitment to their spiritual obligations.

Verse 10. - Until they had made an end; Hebrew, לְכִּלֵּה, piel infin. The meaning can scarcely be till enough was obtained, because day after day, as the next verso tells us, the chest was brought; but either till those who had come that day to give had all given in their contributions, or, as some think with much less probability, till the chest was full for the day. At the same time, the clause, occupying only one word in the original, may quite possibly purport to state summarily by anticipation that the same system was observed to the end, and the method of the chest not departed from.
