Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(5) Build ye houses, and dwell in them.--The command had a two-fold bearing. It counselled a patient acceptance of the present state of things. It announced, as the next verse does yet more emphatically, that their exile would last for at least two generations. It indicates, also, the comparative leniency with which the exiles were treated. They were allowed to become possessors both of lands and houses. The favour shown to Daniel and his friends would, of course, tend to make their condition more tolerable.Parallel Commentaries ...Hebrew‘Buildבְּנ֥וּ (bə·nū)Verb - Qal - Imperative - masculine pluralStrong's 1129: To buildhousesבָתִּ֖ים (ḇāt·tîm)Noun - masculine pluralStrong's 1004: A houseand settle down.וְשֵׁ֑בוּ (wə·šê·ḇū)Conjunctive waw | Verb - Qal - Imperative - masculine pluralStrong's 3427: To sit down, to dwell, to remain, to settle, to marryPlantוְנִטְע֣וּ (wə·niṭ·‘ū)Conjunctive waw | Verb - Qal - Imperative - masculine pluralStrong's 5193: To strike in, fix, to plantgardensגַנּ֔וֹת (ḡan·nō·wṯ)Noun - feminine pluralStrong's 1593: A gardenand eatוְאִכְל֖וּ (wə·’iḵ·lū)Conjunctive waw | Verb - Qal - Imperative - masculine pluralStrong's 398: To eattheir produce.פִּרְיָֽן׃ (pir·yān)Noun - masculine singular construct | third person feminine pluralStrong's 6529: FruitJump to PreviousAbide Build Building Dwell Eat Fruit Gardens Houses Live Plant Planting Produce Settle Using
