Berean Study Bible

After that
This phrase indicates a sequence of events, suggesting that the actions described follow a previously established order. In the context of Ezra, this refers to the rebuilding of the altar and the reestablishment of worship practices. Historically, this was a time of restoration for the Israelites after their return from Babylonian exile. The phrase underscores the importance of order and obedience in worship, reflecting a return to God's prescribed ways.

they presented
The act of presenting offerings is a significant ritual in the Jewish faith, symbolizing dedication and submission to God. The Hebrew root for "presented" is often associated with bringing forth or offering something of value. This act of presentation is a physical manifestation of the Israelites' renewed commitment to God, emphasizing the importance of giving back to the Lord as an act of worship and gratitude.

the regular burnt offerings
Burnt offerings were a central aspect of Old Testament worship, symbolizing atonement and complete surrender to God. The Hebrew term for "burnt offering" is "olah," which means "that which goes up," referring to the smoke rising to heaven. These offerings were made daily, signifying a continual dedication to God and a reminder of His holiness and the need for purification from sin.

and the offerings for the New Moons
The New Moon offerings were part of the monthly cycle of worship, marking the beginning of each month in the Hebrew calendar. These offerings are rooted in Numbers 28:11-15, where God commands the Israelites to present specific sacrifices at the start of each month. This practice highlights the importance of recognizing God's sovereignty over time and the rhythm of life, encouraging believers to regularly renew their commitment to Him.

and for all the appointed sacred feasts of the LORD
The appointed feasts, such as Passover, Pentecost, and the Feast of Tabernacles, were times of communal worship and remembrance of God's mighty acts in Israel's history. The Hebrew word for "appointed" is "moed," meaning a set time or season. These feasts served as reminders of God's faithfulness and provision, fostering a sense of identity and continuity among the Israelites.

as well as the freewill offerings
Freewill offerings were voluntary gifts given out of gratitude and devotion, not mandated by law. The Hebrew term "nedabah" reflects a spirit of generosity and willingness. These offerings demonstrate the heart of worship, where giving is not just an obligation but a joyful expression of love and thankfulness to God.

brought to the LORD
The act of bringing offerings to the Lord signifies an intentional approach to worship, where the focus is on God as the recipient of honor and praise. This phrase emphasizes the personal and communal relationship between the Israelites and their God, reminding believers today of the importance of approaching God with reverence and intentionality in worship.

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers

(5) Both of the new moons.--And of the new moons. The whole verse is general and anticipatory. The new moons, the three feasts, and the constant presentation of freewill offerings, added to the daily sacrifice, made up the essentials of ritual; all being, like the arrangements in the Book of Leviticus, fixed before the Temple was built, and afterwards observed.

Pulpit Commentary

Verse 5. - The continual burnt offering. This is beyond a doubt the daily morning and evening sacrifice, called "the continual burnt offering" in Exodus 29:42 and Numbers 28:3-6. The clause is not modified by the succeeding words, which are additional, not exegetical, and which should not be translated, as in the A. V., both of the new moons, but, "and those of the new moons." The returned exiles kept henceforth regularly both the daily morning and evening sacrifice, and also that appointed for the new moons (Numbers 28:11-15), and those appointed for the other "set feasts,"such as the passover and the feast of Pentecost. And of every one that willingly offered. Nor was this all. The practice was resumed of sacrificing on the great altar at any time any free-will offerings that individual Israelites might bring (see Leviticus 1, 2, 3, etc.). Thus provision was made for all that was most essential in the ritual of religion, while the temple itself still remained unbuilt (see ver. 6). PREPARATION OF MATERIALS FOR THE REBUILDING OF THE TEMPLE (ver. 7). When the restoration of religion had pro-greased thus far, the civil and ecclesiastical rulers turned their attention to that object which had been specially mentioned in the "decree of Cyrus" (Ezra 1:2, 3), the rebuilding of the temple. And, first of all, it was necessary to collect building materials, wood and stone, which were the chief materials of the first temple, and which Cyrus had particularized in a supplementary decree (Ezra 6:4) as those to be employed in the construction of the second.
