Ezra 1:4 in context

Ezra 1:3      Ezra 1:5

Ezra 1:4

And for all [Jews] who remain (the remnant) [who do not have sufficient resources of their own to return], wherever they may live [throughout the great Persian Empire], let the people [non-Jews] in those places provide him with silver and gold, with goods [clothes, tents] and livestock, in addition to the voluntary offerings to the house of God (Elohim) in Jerusalem [so that they may return].
[The meaning depends on who "the people in those places" refers to. If it is non-Jews, then the meaning is that all Jews who want to return would be given the opportunity to do so. This interpretation is reinforced by the fact that the gifts mentioned are the gifts they take with them, see verse 6.] [Cyrus ruled in Persia from 539 to 530 BC. This decree ends the 70-year captivity of the Jewish people in Babylon. There were three deportations (605, 597, and 586 BC) and also three returns (Zerubbabel, Ezra, and Nehemiah). The seventy years can be calculated in two ways. Either from Nebuchadnezzar's first attack in 605 BC to 535 BC (when the foundation of the temple was laid) or from the fall of Jerusalem in 586 BC to the completion of the temple in 516 BC when it was rededicated. Verses 1-3 are found almost verbatim in 2 Chron. 36:22–23. Archaeological finds such as the Cyrus Cylinder confirm that Cyrus made similar proclamations to other peoples and religions. The phrase "it was written down" in verse 1 is a technical term for documenting. Thousands of clay tablets with laws, receipts, and covenants have been found in excavations from this period.]
