Bp. 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.
• Before the foundations of the temple could be laid, the altar must first be placed on its bases — that would be its historic position — no other location, no other place would do. (“Restoration of Scriptural Worship - Ezra 3:1-3” by N. Simon)
• The morning and evening sacrifice — the continual burnt-offering (Ex. 29:38-46) — was established first. It was not the sin offering, but the burnt offering. (“Restoration of Scriptural Worship - Ezra 3:1-3” by N. Simon)
• It is good to note that all was according to the Word of God (Ezra 3:2); we have here the scriptural restoration of worship in truth. (“Restoration of Scriptural Worship - Ezra 3:1-3” by N. Simon)
• The combination of the two foreshadowing Him who will be a priest on His throne, the true Melchizedek (see Zech. 6:9-15). (“The Book of Ezra: Restoration From Babylon: Ezra 3:1-7” by E. Dennett)
