Footnotes

  1. Ezra 1:8 The title leader (nasi) does not necessarily refer to a prince, the son of a king. Sheshbazzar is, however, traditionally called a prince because the line of the Messiah is traced through him.
  2. Ezra 1:9 The precise identification of some of these objects is uncertain. For example, the term translated pans may mean knives.
