2:18‘Think carefully about the past:28 from today, the twenty-fourth day of the ninth month,29 to the day work on the temple of the Lord was resumed,30 think about it.31
Footnotes
- 28 Heb “set your heart.” A similar expression occurs in v. 15.
- 29 The twenty-fourth day of the ninth month was Kislev 24 or December 18, 520. See v. 10. Here the reference is to “today,” the day the oracle is being delivered.
- 30 The day work … was resumed. This does not refer to the initial founding of the Jerusalem temple in 536 b.c. but to the renewal of construction three months earlier (see 1:15). This is clear from the situation described in v. 19 which accords with the food scarcities of that time already detailed in Hag 1:10–11.
- 31 Heb “set your heart.” A similar expression occurs in v. 15 and at the beginning of this verse.
