Pulpit Commentary
Pulpit CommentaryVerse 7. - They have cast tire into thy sanctuary; or, they have set thy sanctuary fire (Revised Version). The temple of Solomon was burnt by Nebuchadnezzar (2 Kings 25:9; 2 Chronicles 36:19). That of Zerubbabel was never burnt, but was entirely rebuilt, and on a much larger scale, by Herod the Great. That of Herod the Great was burnt in the siege by Titus. They have defiled by casting down the dwelling place of thy Name to the ground (comp. Lamentations 2:6; Lamentations 4:1). The very foundations of the second temple had to be laid by Zerubbabel (Ezra 3:6, 12).
Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(7) They have cast fire into.--Literally, They have cast into fire thy sanctuary. Probably a hyperbolic expression, and purporting to express the vastness of the conflagration. Others compare with the English "set on fire," and French mettre a feu.We learn from 1 Maccabees 4:38, and Josephus, Antt. xii., 7:6, that Judas Maccabaeus, in coming to restore the Temple, found that the gates had been burnt.
