SESBATSAR

Voir les versets relatifs

Prince de Juda auquel Cyrus, ayant libéré les Juifs de l'exil et les ayant autorisés à rebâtir le temple de Jéhovah, remit « les ustensiles de la Maison de Jéhovah » que Nébucadnetsar avait emportés de Jérusalem et placés dans la Maison de son Dieu (Esd 1:7). C'est à tort qu'on a quelquefois identifié Sesbatsar avec Zorobabel ; il est plus probable qu'il faut voir en lui le Sénatsar de 1Ch 3:18, oncle de Zorobabel et fils du roi détrôné Jéchonias auquel, à la fin de sa captivité, le roi de Babylone Évil-Mérodac rendit sa faveur (Jer 52:32 et suivants). Ce Sesbatsar dut partir le premier avec les hommes les plus déterminés de sa tribu (Juda), et ce fut lui qui, d'après le rapport du gouverneur Thatthénaï, « posa les fondements de la Maison de Dieu à Jérusalem » (Esd 5:16). Puis vint la grande caravane dirigée par son neveu Zorobabel qui rétablit l'autel des holocaustes, réorganisa le culte et célébra la fête des Tabernacles en 537 (Esd 3:2,5).

On est étonné de lire après cela que « les fondements du Temple n'étaient pas encore posés » (Esd 3:6) ; il est possible que les textes confondent ici le fait de la pose des fondements avec les réjouissances dont Zorobabel et le prêtre Josué entourèrent les premières tentatives d'érection du nouveau sanctuaire (Esd 3:10 et suivant). Za 4:7 dit en effet de Zorobabel : « Il posera la pierre principale au milieu des acclamations. » Le prince Sesbatsar disparaît brusquement de la scène, comme du reste peu après le prince Zorobabel, son neveu ; peut-être leur sang royal avait-il porté ombrage aux gouverneurs de la province et tombèrent-ils victimes de l'insidieuse accusation qui coûta la vie, dans l'antique Orient, à tant de personnages mis en vedette par leurs fonctions. Accusation qui fut renouvelée contre Néhémie : « Vous pensez à vous révolter... tu vas te faire proclamer à Jérusalem roi de Juda ! » (Ne 6:6 et suivants).

Pour juger équitablement de cette période, il ne faut pas perdre de vue que les données des livres d'Esdras et de Néhémie sont fort lacunaires. Ainsi entre Esd 6 et 7 manquent les événements de plus d'un demi-siècle. Les livres d'Esd, et de Ne présentent aussi d'étonnantes transpositions : ainsi la liste des participants à la caravane conduite par Zorobabel, dans Esd 2:1-3:1, a été prise dans Ne 7:6-8:1 ; de même les chap. 8 à 10 de Ne ont été pris aux mémoires d'Esdras, d'ailleurs retouchés par les chroniqueurs. Nous avons affaire dans ces deux livres, non à de l'histoire continue, mais à une collection de récits fragmentaires et remaniés. Voir Zorobabel. Alex. W.

      60 the children of Delaiah, the children of Tobiah, the children of Nekoda, six hundred fifty-two.

      70 So the priests, and the Levites, and some of the people, and the singers, and the porters, and the Nethinim, lived in their cities, and all Israel in their cities.

      Esdras 3

      1 When the seventh month had come, and the children of Israel were in the cities, the people gathered themselves together as one man to Jerusalem.
      2 Then Jeshua the son of Jozadak stood up with his brothers the priests, and Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel and his brothers, and built the altar of the God of Israel, to offer burnt offerings thereon, as it is written in the law of Moses the man of God.
      5 and afterward the continual burnt offering, the offerings of the new moons, of all the set feasts of Yahweh that were consecrated, and of everyone who willingly offered a freewill offering to Yahweh.
      6 From the first day of the seventh month, they began to offer burnt offerings to Yahweh; but the foundation of Yahweh's temple was not yet laid.
      10 When the builders laid the foundation of Yahweh's temple, they set the priests in their clothing with trumpets, with the Levites the sons of Asaph with cymbals, to praise Yahweh, according to the directions of David king of Israel.

      Esdras 5

      16 Then the same Sheshbazzar came, and laid the foundations of God's house which is in Jerusalem: and since that time even until now has it been in building, and yet it is not completed.

      Esdras 6

      1 Then Darius the king made a decree, and search was made in the house of the archives, where the treasures were laid up in Babylon.
      2 There was found at Achmetha, in the palace that is in the province of Media, a scroll, and therein was thus written for a record:
      3 In the first year of Cyrus the king, Cyrus the king made a decree: Concerning God's house at Jerusalem, let the house be built, the place where they offer sacrifices, and let its foundations be strongly laid; its height sixty cubits, and its breadth sixty cubits;
      4 with three courses of great stones, and a course of new timber: and let the expenses be given out of the king's house.
      5 Also let the gold and silver vessels of God's house, which Nebuchadnezzar took forth out of the temple which is at Jerusalem, and brought to Babylon, be restored, and brought again to the temple which is at Jerusalem, everyone to its place; and you shall put them in God's house.
      6 Now therefore, Tattenai, governor beyond the River, Shetharbozenai, and your companions the Apharsachites, who are beyond the River, you must stay far from there.
      7 Leave the work of this house of God alone; let the governor of the Jews and the elders of the Jews build this house of God in its place.
      8 Moreover I make a decree what you shall do to these elders of the Jews for the building of this house of God: that of the king's goods, even of the tribute beyond the River, expenses be given with all diligence to these men, that they be not hindered.
      9 That which they have need of, both young bulls, and rams, and lambs, for burnt offerings to the God of heaven; also wheat, salt, wine, and oil, according to the word of the priests who are at Jerusalem, let it be given them day by day without fail;
      10 that they may offer sacrifices of pleasant aroma to the God of heaven, and pray for the life of the king, and of his sons.
      11 Also I have made a decree, that whoever shall alter this word, let a beam be pulled out from his house, and let him be lifted up and fastened thereon; and let his house be made a dunghill for this:
      12 and the God who has caused his name to dwell there overthrow all kings and peoples who shall put forth their hand to alter the same, to destroy this house of God which is at Jerusalem. I Darius have made a decree; let it be done with all diligence.
      13 Then Tattenai, the governor beyond the River, Shetharbozenai, and their companions, because Darius the king had sent a decree, did accordingly with all diligence.
      14 The elders of the Jews built and prospered, through the prophesying of Haggai the prophet and Zechariah the son of Iddo. They built and finished it, according to the commandment of the God of Israel, and according to the decree of Cyrus, and Darius, and Artaxerxes king of Persia.
      15 This house was finished on the third day of the month Adar, which was in the sixth year of the reign of Darius the king.
      16 The children of Israel, the priests, and the Levites, and the rest of the children of the captivity, kept the dedication of this house of God with joy.
      17 They offered at the dedication of this house of God one hundred bulls, two hundred rams, four hundred lambs; and for a sin offering for all Israel, twelve male goats, according to the number of the tribes of Israel.
      18 They set the priests in their divisions, and the Levites in their courses, for the service of God, which is at Jerusalem; as it is written in the book of Moses.
      19 The children of the captivity kept the Passover on the fourteenth day of the first month.
      20 For the priests and the Levites had purified themselves together; all of them were pure: and they killed the Passover for all the children of the captivity, and for their brothers the priests, and for themselves.
      21 The children of Israel who had come again out of the captivity, and all such as had separated themselves to them from the filthiness of the nations of the land, to seek Yahweh, the God of Israel, ate,
      22 and kept the feast of unleavened bread seven days with joy: for Yahweh had made them joyful, and had turned the heart of the king of Assyria to them, to strengthen their hands in the work of God's house, the God of Israel.
