The second, whose story I am now writing, who had the surname of the Mindful|, was the grandson of the former, by his daughter Parysatis, who brought Darius four sons, th|e eldest Artaxerxes, the next Cyrus, and two younger than these, Ostanes and Oxathres. Cyru|s took his name of the ancient Cyrus, as he, they say, had his from the sun, which, in the Pe|rsian language, is called Cyrus. Artaxerxes was at first called Arsicas; Dinon says Oarses; b|ut it is utterly improbable that Ctesias (however otherwise he may have filled his books wit|h a perfect farrago of incredible and senseless fables) should be ignorant of the name of th|e king with whom he lived as his physician, attending upon himself, his wife, his mother, an|d his children.||Cyrus, from his earliest youth, showed something of a headstrong and vehement character; Arta|xerxes, on the other side, was gentler in everything, and of a nature more yielding and sof|t in its action.

" The King was so charmed with the wisdom of Zerubbabel tha
t he said to him: "Ask for aught thou wishest, it shall be granted thee." Zerubbabel require
d nothing for himself, he only sought permission of the King to restore Jerusalem, rebuild th
e sanctuary, and return the holy Temple vessels to the place whence they had been carried off
. Not only did Darius grant what Zerubbabel wished for, not only did he give him letters of s
afe-conduct, but he also conferred numerous privileges upon the Jews who accompanied Zerubbab
el to Palestine, and he sent abundant presents to the Temple and its officers. 24
As unto his predecessor Daniel, so unto Zerubbabel, God vouchsafed a knowledge of the secret
s of the future. Especially the archangel Metatron dealt kindly with him. Besides revealing t
o him the time at which the Messiah would appear, he brought about an interview between the M
essiah and Zerubbabel. 25
In reality, Zerubbabel was none other than Nehemiah, who was given this second name because h
e was born in Babylon. 26 Richly endowed as Zerubbabel-Nehemiah was with admirable qualities
, he yet did not lack faults. He was excessively self-complacent, and he did not hesitate t
o fasten a stigma publicly upon his predecessors in the office of governor in the land of Jud
ah, among whom was so excellent a man as Daniel. To punish him for these transgressions, th
e Book of Ezra does not bear the name of its real author Nehemiah. 27
Zerubavel
Tanach Class: Zerubavel - Part I Hello, This week we began to look at a man named Zerubavel
. Zerubavel played an interesting role in Jewish history at the time of the building of the S
econd Temple. Within Midrash Zerubavel plays another role - companion to Mashiach. Hopefully
, we will learn a bit about each role. Zerubavel is mentioned in three books of Tanach:
1. In Chaggai (Chaggai 1-2), the prophet Chaggai is given a Divine order for Zerubavel to beg
in building the Second Temple. 2. In Zecharyah (Zecharyah 4), Gd sends a message to Zerubavel
, informing him that he will succeed, and that his success will come through Gd rather than t
hrough human power. 3. In the book of Ezra (Ezra 2-5) we are told of Zerubavel's actual perio
d as governor of the Jews, and of his political activities.
This role we focussed on Zerubavel's lineage and identity. Zerubavel's lineage The Gemara (S
anhedrin 37b-38a) identifies Zerubavel's father as none other than Yechanyah. Yechanyah wa
s a Jewish king, and he was taken to Bavel by Nevuchadnezzar, 11 years before the destructio
n of the Temple. Yechanyah was a young man of 18 at the time, and he was held captive until E
vil Merodach succeeded Nevuchadnezzar and freed him. According to this Gemara, Yechanyah imp
regnated a woman while he was in prison, and the child of this relationship was Zerubavel. T
he Midrash (such as in Shir haShirim Rabbah 8) points out that Zerubavel represents a reversa
l of fortunes for Yechanyah. Yechanyah had been told by prophets that his children would neve
r rise to greatness; Zerubavel, himself, was a sign that Yechanyah's repentance was accepted
. The Rambam holds this up (Hilchos Teshuvah 7:6) as an example of the power of repentance.Ib
n Ezra (Shemos 2:10, Chaggai 1:1) rejects the idea that Zerubavel was Yechanyah's son. He say
s that Zerubavel was the son of Pediyah, based on a verse in Divrei haYamim. Zerubavel is gen
erally identified as a son of Shealtiel, because Shealtiel was Pediyah's brother, and Shealti
el raised Zerubavel. For a third version, Radak (Melachim II 8:26, Yechezkel 21:32) says tha
t this was the family line: Yechanyah-Shelatiel-Pediyah-Zerubavel. Shealtiel may have been li
sted as the father because he was more well-known and respected than Pediyah. Zerubavel's Na
me The Gemara (Sanhedrin 37b-38a) also says that Zerubavel was known by multiple names. Zerub
avel was also Shealtiel, and was also Nechemyah. Obviously, this wreaks havoc with the verse
s in which Zerubavel is known as the son of Shealtiel. In addition, as Ibn Ezra points out i
n a comment to Shemos 2:9 in his Peirush haKatzar, Zerubavel and Nechemyah are often mentione
d separately in the same verse. Ibn Ezra says this Gemara is not meant literally. Radak (Zech
aryah 3:9 and 4:14) also seems not to take this Gemara literally, although he does cite it (D
ivrei haYamim I 3:17). Ibn Ezra (Chaggai 2:22, Daniel 6:29, Ezra 1:8) also mentions that Zer
ubavel was also known as Sheshbatzar. He takes "Sheshbatzar" to be a Babylonian variant to "Z
erubavel." Zerubavel's Relationship with Gd Avos deRabbi Nasan (2) says Zerubavel was born c
ircumcised. This seems to be learned from Gd's reference to Zerubavel as "Avdi," "my slave,
" in Chaggai 2:23. Avos deRabbi Nasan (43) also mentions that Zerubavel was one of 18 peopl
e to be termed "Eved HaShem," "Slave of Gd." The Midrash (Sifri Devarim 27) expands on this
, saying that we find the true servants of Gd didn't identify themselves as such. Those in Ta
nach who called themselves "Eved HaShem" actually were not that. Zerubavel was a scholar. Ra
shi (Bava Basra 15a) mentions that Zerubavel was a member of the Anshei Kenesses haGedolah, t
he Great Assembly, who led the Jews at the beginning of the Second Beis haMikdash. He was amo
ng those who established our order of prayer, including the Shemoneh Esreih [Amidah]. Gd-wil
ling, we will learn more about Zerubavel, including his role in the time of Mashiach, next we
ek. ... -- Zerubavel - Part II Hello, This week we looked at Zerubavel's status as a descen
dant of Yehudah and King David, and his relationship with Mashiach. Zerubavel as a descendan
t of Yehudah As a descendant of King Yechanyah, Zerubavel was also scion of the line of Yehud
ah and King David. The Midrash (Bereishis Rabbah 97:8) lists a series of leaders who came fro
m Yehudah, including them in Yaakov's blessing to Yehudah, "Atah Yoducha Achecha," "Your brot
hers will praise/thank you," ie your leaders. In addition, the Midrash (Aggadas Bereishis 27
:1) makes an interesting point relevant to the story of Yehudah and Tamar. In that story (whi
ch we discussed somewhat in a Tanach class archived at http://members.tripod.com/~ohave/chuma
sh/tamar.htm), Tamar asks for a collateral from Yehudah, of "Chosamcha (your signet ring), Pe
silecha (your cloak), and Matcha Asher beYadecha (your staff in your hand)." In a message t
o Chaggai, HaShem identifies Zerubavel as His Chosam, His sealing ring. Thus Tamar's statemen
t to Yehudah becomes quasi-prophetic, predicting the "Chosam" who would come from their union
. Zerubavel as a Quasi-Monarch Rashi on Shir haShirim (6:10) comments that Divine redemptio
n comes like the dawn, beginning with weak light and building into daybreak. Rashi says tha
t our redemption began with Zerubavel, who was a governor under the Persian/Mede authority, a
nd built until the time of the Hasmonean army, which gained us temporary autonomy. Similarly
, Ibn Ezra (Zecharyah 11:7) comments that Zerubavel's leadership was not full-fledged monarch
y Radak (Zecharyah 6:11), though, states that Zerubavel attained the position of monarch whe
n he built the Beis haMikdash. (See Shut Divrei Chachamim, 102, for an analysis of Ezra's rol
e in the rebuilding vs. Zerubavel's role.) Zerubavel as Builder of the Beis haMikdash The Je
ws actually started to build the Beis haMikdash under Koresh, a Persian king, and then they s
topped. They resumed under Zerubavel, at the behest of a prophet, Chaggai. Chaggai delivere
d a sharp message, informing the Jews that it was inappropriate for them to dwell in their ho
mes as the Temple was in ruins. Radak (Chaggai 1:1) comments that the Jews were stalling ou
t of fear for their enemies. Zerubavel and Foreign Relations Zerubavel, as the leader of th
e rebuilding process, led the Jews in their conflict with the Shomronim, the Samaritans. Th
e Samaritans were a group who had converted to Judaism in an attempt to ward off lions who we
re marauding their camps. They never actually surrendered their idols, and they continued t
o cling to idolatrous worship. When the Jews first began building the 2nd Beis haMikdash, th
e Samaritans tried to sabotage the work from within. They asked to join the project, but Zeru
bavel knew what they were up to. Zerubavel rebuffed them, declaring (Ezra 4:3), "It is not fo
r you and for us to build a house for Gd." This led the Samaritans to tell Koresh that the Je
ws were planning to rebel against him, and so Koresh halted the rebuilding process. As a res
ult of this interference from the Shomronim, as well as an attempt they made to murder Nechem
yah, Zerubavel excommunicated them. Zerubavel, along with Ezra and Yehoshua (the Kohen Gadol)
, gathered 300 Kohanim, with 300 Shofaros and 300 Torah scrolls, and executed a ban on eatin
g bread baked by a Samaritan. On the other hand, Zerubavel had a fine relationship with th
e Persians and Medes. Ibn Ezra on Zecharyah 11:10-11 comments that Zerubavel was called "Noam
," "pleasant," because he had a covenant of peace with the surrounding nations. The covenan
t ended with Zerubavel's death. (See Radak Zecharyah 11:14 for an alternate explanation of "N
oam.") Prophecies regarding Zerubavel There were a number of prophecies regarding Zerubavel'
s leadership. Time is brief at the moment, so I'll just note Rashi Zecharyah 6:11, Ibn Ezra Z
echaryah 3:8, Ibn Ezra Michah 4:11, Ibn Ezra Zecharyah 4:14, and Radak Yechezkel 17:23-24. T
he Midrash picks up on the fact that many of the Zerubavel-oriented prophecies predicted grea
t military power and political sovereignty for the Jewish people, which did not happen durin
g Zerubavel's time. As a result, the Midrash suggests two approaches: 1. The prophecies refe
r to Zerubavel's descendant, Mashiach. Midrash Tanchuma Toldos 20 points out that Mashiach wi
ll descend from Zerubavel, and uses this to interpret Zecharyah 4:7. The "great mountain" bef
ore Zerubavel is his descendant, Mashaich, who will judge people "beMishor," with even-hande
d justice. (See also Aggadas Bereishis 27:1) 2. The second approach actually returns Zerubav
el to "active duty" in the time of Mashiach. Eliyahu Zuta 20 has Zerubavel acting as a teache
r explaining the Torah HaShem will teach on the Day of Judgment. The Otzar Midrashim goes ev
en further with this, recording a "Sefer Zerubavel," "Book of Zerubavel," with all sorts of M
essianic predictions. Ibn Ezra (Shemos 2:22 in his Peirush haKatzar) did not trust the Book o
f Zerubavel; he said it was not compiled by prophets or sages, and that it contained ideas wh
ich run counter to an appropriate understanding of Torah. Having said that, I'll just mentio
n that the Otzar Midrashim (pg. 97) mentions Mashiach, Eliyahu and Zerubavel ascending the Mo
unt of Olives together to blow the Shofar heralding the arrival of Mashiach. This same body o
f Midrash (pg. 407) also has Zerubavel reciting a Kaddish after HaShem teaches Torah to the m
asses on "Judgment Day." (http://members.tripod.com/~ohave/chumash/zeruba.htm)

ZERUBBABEL OR ZOROBABEL
Son of Salathiel of the royal race of David, called "Sheshbbazzar the prince of Judah" in Ezr
a 1:8. Zerubbabel, as his name imports, was born in Babylon, and was the leader of the firs
t colony of Jews which returned from the Babylonish captivity, 536 B. C. Cyrus committed to h
is care the sacred vessels of the temple, with which he returned to Jerusalem, Ezra 1:11. H
e is always named first, as being chief of the Jews that returned to their own country, Ezr
a 2:2 3:8 5:2 Haggai 1:1 2:1-9,21-23. He laid the foundations of the temple, Ezra 3:8,9 Zecha
riah 4:9, and restored the worship of the Lord, and the usual sacrifices.
When the Samaritans offered to assist in rebuilding the temple, Zerubbabel and the principa
l men of Judah refused them this honor, since Cyrus had granted his commission to the Jews on
ly, Ezra 4:2,3. They procured from the Persian court an order that the work should cease; an
d it was not resumed until the second year of Darius son of Hystapes, 521 BC. We know nothin
g further of his history, except that from him both Joseph and Mary descended, Matthew 1:13 L
uke 3:27.
ZERUBBABEL
(zeh ruhb' buh behl) Personal name meaning, “descendant of Babel.” The grandson of King Jehoi
achin (taken to Babylon in the first Exile in 597 B.C. by Nebuchadnezzar; 2 Kings 24:10-17) a
nd the son of Shealtiel (Ezra 3:2), second son of Jehoiachin (1 Chronicles 3:16-17). He is na
med in Ezra 2:2 among the leaders of those who returned from Exile. The list in Ezra 2:1-67 (
compare Nehemiah 7:6-73) probably names people who returned in 539, the first year of the rei
gn of Cyrus the Great, ruler of the Persian Empire (Ezra 1:1), or between 539 and 529, despit
e the contention of many American scholars that the list belongs to an unmentioned second ret
urn led by Zerubbabel in 521/20.
According to Ezra 3:1, Zerubbabel and Jeshua (or Joshua, the high priest) rebuilt the altar a
nd in their second year (538?) laid the foundation of the Temple, but their work was halted b
y opposition from persons who had remained in Palestine during the Exile (Ezra 4:1-6,Ezra 4:2
4). Darius (Persian emperor from 522-486 B.C.) granted the Jews permission to continue rebuil
ding the Temple (Ezra 6:1-12). Under the urging of Haggai (Haggai 1:1,Haggai 1:12-15; Hagga
i 2:1,Haggai 2:20) and Zechariah (Zechariah 4:6-10), Zerubabel, now governor (Haggai 1:1) i
n place of Sheshbazzar (Ezra 5:14), resume the task (Ezra 5:1-2), completed in 515 B.C.
Zerubbabel himself, however, disappeared from view. He was a Davidic prince, so it is possibl
e that the Jews tried to crown him king during the civil war surrounding the rise of Darius a
s emperor (522/21). Zechariah 6:9-14 may reflect the wish to crown Zerubbabel, but his fate r
emains unknown. See Babylon; Israel; Zechariah.

The second, whose story I am now writing, who had the surname of the Mindful|, was the grandson of the former, by his daughter Parysatis, who brought Darius four sons, th|e eldest Artaxerxes, the next Cyrus, and two younger than these, Ostanes and Oxathres. Cyru|s took his name of the ancient Cyrus, as he, they say, had his from the sun, which, in the Pe|rsian language, is called Cyrus. Artaxerxes was at first called Arsicas; Dinon says Oarses; b|ut it is utterly improbable that Ctesias (however otherwise he may have filled his books wit|h a perfect farrago of incredible and senseless fables) should be ignorant of the name of th|e king with whom he lived as his physician, attending upon himself, his wife, his mother, an|d his children.||Cyrus, from his earliest youth, showed something of a headstrong and vehement character; Arta|xerxes, on the other side, was gentler in everything, and of a nature more yielding and sof|t in its action. He married a beautiful and virtuous wife, at the desire of his parents, bu|t kept her as expressly against their wishes.|...[MUCH MORE]|(http://www.4literature.net/Plutarch/Artaxerxes/) deat: 0424 BC plac: Persia (Iran) Ruled 0464 - 0424 BC marr: marr: Concubine marr: marr: | ||||||||

When Alexander the son of Philip, the M|acedonian, came (to Egypt), he made enquiries about his grave, and took and brought him to Al|exandria.

From that time, and until Christ was born, the Egyptians used to set a virgi|n and a baby in a crib, and to worship him, because of what Jeremiah said to them, that He sh|ould be born in a crib.||2 See Migne, Patrologiae Cursus, Ser.
