ויספרם. הגזבר הזה מנה אותם ומסרם לששבצר למען ישאם ויוליכם לירושלים ואמרו רבותינו הוא ששבצר הוא דניאל ולמה נקרא שמו ששבצר שעמד בשש צרות:
and he counted them out This treasurer counted them and delivered them to Sheshbazzar, so that he would carry them and transport them to Jerusalem. Our Rabbis said: “Sheshbazzar is identical with Daniel, and why was he called Sheshbazzar? Because he endured six troubles (שֵּׁשּׁ צָרוֹת) .”
הנשיא ליהודה. הוא הנשיא אשר לשבט יהודה:
the prince of Judah He is the prince of the tribe of Judah.
ויתנם בבית אלהיו. אשר נתנם נבוכדנצר בבית עבודת כוכבים שלו:
and had placed them in the temple of his god that Nebuchadnezzar had placed in the temple of his pagan deity.
