Patrick observes, that before the temple was built, there seems to have been a tabernacle pitched for Divine service, as was in David's time, not on mount Moriah, but mount Sion, to be used while the temple was building. Let us learn hence to begin with God, and to do what we can in the worship of God, when we cannot do what we would. They could not immediately have a temple, but they would not be without an altar. Wherever a Christian goes, if he carry not with him the sacrifices of prayer and praise, he is wanting in his duty; for he has an altar ever ready that sanctifies both the gift and the giver.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
Then stood up Jeshua the son of Jozadak,.... Who was the high priest, and the proper person to give the lead in the following work:
and his brethren the priests; the common priests, very fit to join him, and assist him in it:
and Zerubbabel, the son of Shealtiel; the prince and governor of Judah, whose presence was necessary to give countenance to the work, and animate to it:
and his brethren; the princes and heads of the people, particularly those mentioned Ezra 2:2
and builded the altar of the God of Israel; the altar of burnt offering, gave orders for the building of it, and directions about it:
to offer burnt offerings thereon, as it is written in the law of Moses the man of God; or prophet of God, as the Syriac version; see Leviticus 1:1.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Jeshua, the high priest, was the son of Jozadak, who was carried into captivity by Nebuchadnezzar 1 Chronicles 6:15.
Zerubbabel was really the son of Pedaiah, Shealtielâs (or Salathielâs) younger brother. But Shealtiel having no sons, and the royal line being continued in the person of his nephew, Zerubbabel, the latter was accounted Shealtielâs son.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Ezra 3:2. Jeshua the son of Jozadak — He was grandson of Seraiah the high priest, who was put to death by Nebuchadnezzar, 2 Kings 25:18; 2 Kings 25:21. This Jeshua or Joshua was the first high priest after the captivity.
