Esdra 9:4

Atëherë tërë ata që dridheshin nga fjalët e Perëndisë të Izraelit u mblodhën rreth meje për shkak të mëkatit të atyre që ishin kthyer nga robëria; dhe unë mbeta i ulur dhe i shtangur deri në blatimin e mbrëmjes.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

There were assembled unto me everyone that trembled at the words of the God of Israel,.... That had a reverence for the word of God, and the things contained in it; feared to break the laws of God, and trembled at his judgments, which they might apprehend would come upon transgressors, see Isaiah 46:2,

because of the transgression of those that had been carried away; into Babylon, and were now returned, and which was an aggravation of their transgression:

and I sat astonished until the evening sacrifice: or until the ninth hour, as the Syriac version, which was about our three o'clock in the afternoon, at which time the evening sacrifice was offered; perhaps it was in the morning when Ezra first received his information from the princes.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Ezra 9:4. Those that had been carried away — Those that had returned long before with Zerubbabel; see Ezra 9:1.

Until the evening sacrifice. — The morning sacrifice was the first of all the offerings of the day, the evening sacrifice the last. As the latter was offered between the two evenings, i.e., between sunset and the end of twilight, so the former was offered between break of day and sunrise. Ezra sat astonied-confounded in his mind, distressed in his soul, and scarcely knowing what to do. He probably had withdrawn himself into some sequestered place, or into some secret part of the temple, spending the time in meditation and reflection.
