and understand, that the going forth of the Com∣mandement, to restore, and to build Jerusalem, shall be seven weeks, and threescore and two weeks unto the Mes∣siah, the Prince, i.e. 69 weeks of the 70, the other week we have, ver. 27. he shall confirm the Covenant with many for one week, which added to the 69 makes up the 70 compleat.
Now observe, the Head we are to begin upon, is a com∣mand expresly for the building of Jerusalem, but nei∣ther Cyrus command, nor any command before this, had relation to the building of Jerusalem, for they concerned the Temple onely, as the plain words of Cyrus Decree, Ezra 1.1, 2, 3. do shew: and again, chap. 6.3, 4, 5. the copy of it, which was kept in the Court Rolls, and found many years after, had not a word in it that concerned Je∣rusalem, but the Temple onely, nor had any following Decree untill the 20 of Artaxerxes, so much as a tittle in it that concerned the building of Jerusalem, but all still had reference to the building and beautifying of the Tem∣ple. But now the Decree of Artaxerxes Mnemon, gran∣ted to Nehemiah in the 20 year of his Reign, did particu∣larly concern the building of Jerusalem, and indeed no∣thing else, Nehem. 1.3, 4. compare with chap. 2.1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8. verses.
