Notes
1. The seventh month was an important month in the religious service. The first day of the seventh month was the day of blowing of trumpets; the tenth day was the day of atonement, while the Feast of Tabernacles began in the fifteenth day of the same month.
2. If the old men could have known that they were building a temple, in which, as restored by Herod, the long-promised Saviour would teach, they, too, would have rejoiced.
