ezra 2:68 And some of the chief of the fathers, when they came to the house of the LORD which is at Jerusalem, offered freely for the house of God to set it up in his place:

ezra 2:68 And some of the heads of fathers' [households], when they arrived at the house of the LORD which is in Jerusalem, offered willingly for the house of God to restore it on its foundation.

68. some of the chief of the fathers, when they came to the house of the Lord offered freely for the house of God, &c.--The sight of a place hallowed by the most endearing and sacred associations, but now lying in desolation and ruins, made the wellsprings of their piety and patriotism gush out afresh. Before taking any active measures for providing accommodation to themselves and their families, the chief among them raised a large sum by voluntary contributions towards the restoration of the temple.

ezra 2:68 And some of the heads of fathers' [households], when they arrived at the house of the LORD which is in Jerusalem, offered willingly for the house of God to restore it on its foundation.
