Gill's Notes on the Bible

Now therefore Tatnai, governor beyond the river,.... The river Euphrates, that side of it towards the land of Israel; Josephus z calls this man master of the horse:

Shetharboznai, and your companions the Apharsachites, which are beyond the river, be ye far from thence; keep at a distance from the Jews, and give them no disturbance, nor interrupt them in their work of building of the temple, but mind your own business and government.

z Ibid. (Antiqu.) l. 11. c. 4. sect. 7.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

This verse gives the words of the decree of Darius, which was grounded upon, and probably recited, the decree of Cyrus.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Ezra 6:6. Be ye far from thence — Do not interrupt the Jews in their building; but, on the contrary further them all in your power.
