Gill's Notes on the Bible

Then Darius the king made a decree,.... To make inquiry after the edict of Cyrus, to search the public records for it:

and search was made in the house of the rolls; or "books" r, in a public library or museum:

where the treasures were laid up in Babylon; where things of worth and value were reposited; not only gold, silver, jewels, and precious stones, and things rare and curious, but all sorts of writings relating to the monarchy, and the dominions belonging to it; but it seems it could not be found here, and therefore the king ordered search to be made elsewhere.

r בבית ספריא, εν ταις βιβλιοθηκαις, Sept. "in bibliotheca", V. L. "in bibliotheca librorum", Tigurine version; "in domo librorum", Pagninus, Montanus.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

A “house of the rolls” was discovered at Koyunjik, the ancient Nineveh, in 1850 - a set of chambers, i. e., in the palace devoted exclusively to the storing of public documents. These were in baked clay, and covered the floor to the depth of more than a foot. Such a “house” was probably that at Babylon.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

CHAPTER VI

Darius orders search to be made for the edict of Cyrus, 1.

It is found at Achmetha, 2.

A transcript of this edict, 3-5.

Darius confirms it, 6-12.

Tatnai encourages the Jews to proceed; and they finish the

temple in the sixth year of Darius, 13-15.

They dedicate the temple, 16-18;

keep the Passover, 19-21,

and the feast of unleavened bread, 22.

NOTES ON CHAP. VI

Verse Ezra 6:1. In the house of the rolls — בית ספריא beith siphraiya, the house of the books, the king's library. This is the first time we hear of a library.
