Contextual Overview
1 During the seventh month of the year, the Israelites who had settled in their towns went to Jerusalem. 2 The priest Joshua son of Jozadak, together with the other priests, and Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel and his relatives rebuilt the altar of Israel's God. Then they were able to offer sacrifices there by following the instructions God had given to Moses. 3 And they built the altar where it had stood before, even though they were afraid of the people who were already living around there. Then every morning and evening they burned sacrifices and offerings to the Lord . 4 The people followed the rules for celebrating the Festival of Shelters and offered the proper sacrifices each day. 5 They offered sacrifices to please the Lord , sacrifices at each New Moon Festival, and sacrifices at the rest of the Lord 's festivals. Every offering the people had brought was presented to the Lord . 6 Although work on the temple itself had not yet begun, the people started offering sacrifices on the Lord 's altar on the first day of the seventh month of that year. 7 King Cyrus of Persia had said the Israelites could have cedar trees brought from Lebanon to Joppa by sea. So they sent grain, wine, and olive oil to the cities of Tyre and Sidon as payment for these trees, and they gave money to the stoneworkers and carpenters.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And when the seventh month was come,.... The month Tisri, which answers to part of September and October; or when it "was approaching" p, for before it was actually come some following things were done, the people met, and an altar was built; for on the first day of it sacrifices were offered, Ezra 3:6,
and the children of Israel were in the cities; their respective cities, settling their domestic affairs:
the people gathered themselves together as one man to Jerusalem; the thing was universal, and done with as much dispatch as if only one man was concerned; and it seems to denote as if they were under a divine impulse, and came together without any consultation, or knowledge of each other's designs, and without summons.
p ויגע "cum appropinquaret", Piscator.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
The seventh month - i. e., the month Tisri (nearly our September), the most sacred month in the Jewish year Exodus 23:16; Leviticus 23:24-41.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
CHAPTER III
The altar of burnt-offerings is set up, 1-3.
They keep the feast of tabernacles, 4-6.
They make provision for rebuilding the temple; and lay its
foundation in the second month of the second year, 7, 8.
Ceremonies observed in laying the foundation, 9-11.
Some weep aloud, and others shout for joy, 12-18.
NOTES ON CHAP. III
Verse Ezra 3:1. When the seventh month was come — The month Tisri, which answers to the latter part of our September, and beginning of October. It seems that the Israelites had left Babylon about the spring of the year; that on their arrival at Jerusalem they constructed themselves huts and sheds to lodge in among the ruins, in which they must have spent some months. After this they rebuilt the altar of burnt-offerings, and kept the feast of tabernacles, which happened about this time, and continued to offer sacrifices regularly, as if the temple were standing.
