Calmet.—He was grieved that the people did not make use of the leave granted by Cyrus; (Theod.) or because the Samaritans had prevailed at court to have the temple forbidden; (Usher, A. 3470, and 1 Ezra 1:1–4.) or rather because he could not fully understand the former visions. Calmet. 9:3. and 12:9. and so forth Calmet.
