Context — The Challenge of Rebuilding the Templegenerated

2“Speak to Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and to Joshua son of Jehozadak, the high priest, and also to the remnant of the people. Ask them,
3‘Who is left among you who saw this house in its former glory? How does it look to you now? Does it not appear to you like nothing in comparison?’
4But now be strong, O Zerubbabel, declares the LORD. Be strong, O Joshua son of Jehozadak, the high priest. And be strong, all you people of the land, declares the LORD. Work! For I am with you, declares the LORD of Hosts.
5This is the promise I made to you when you came out of Egypt. And My Spirit remains among you; do not be afraid.”

Haggai 2:3 reflects on the state of the temple after the return from exile. The prophet Haggai addresses the people, asking them to consider how the current temple compares to its former glory. This moment serves as a reminder of the challenges faced in rebuilding and the importance of faith in God's promises. The surrounding verses encourage the people to be strong and continue their work, as God is with them.

The Key Word כְּאַ֖יִן, ke.'A.yingenerated

The word כְּאַ֖יִן (ke'ayin) means 'nothing' or 'as nothing', emphasizing a lack of value or significance. It is often used to express the absence of something, suggesting that the current state of the temple is perceived as lacking when compared to its former splendor.

This word is constructed from the preposition כְּ (k-), meaning 'like' or 'as', combined with אַיִן (ayin), which means 'nothing'. The participial form here indicates a direct comparison, highlighting the feelings of the people regarding the temple's diminished glory.


How Translations Differ — measured against the Berean Standard Biblegenerated

The translations generally agree on the meaning of כְּאַ֖יִן, rendering it as 'like nothing' or 'as nothing'.


Sentence Structuregenerated

The main clause is introduced by the interrogative מִי (mi), 'who?', which sets the tone for the inquiry. The structure includes a series of phrases that build on the question of the temple's current state, with the participial phrase רֹאִ֤ים (ro'im), 'seeing', acting as a descriptor for the subject.

The sentence is structured to lead the audience through a reflection on their past experiences and current perceptions, with the word order emphasizing the contrast between past glory and present reality.


Septuagint Backgroundgenerated

In the Septuagint, the Hebrew כְּאַ֖יִן is rendered as ὑπάρξοντα (hyparxonta), which carries a similar meaning of 'nothing' or 'non-existent'. This choice reflects a consistent interpretation of the Hebrew term, reinforcing the sense of absence or lack.

The use of this Greek word in the Septuagint indicates a direct correlation in meaning, maintaining the emphasis on the diminished state of the temple in comparison to its former glory.

Verse 3. Who is left among you that saw this house in her first glory?] Who of you has seen the temple built by Solomon? The foundation of the present house had been laid about fifty-three years after the destruction of the temple built by Solomon and though this prophecy was uttered fifteen years after the foundation of this second temple, yet there might still survive some of those who had seen the temple of Solomon. Is it not in your eyes] Most certainly the Jews at this time had neither men nor means to make any such splendid building as that erected by Solomon. The present was as nothing when compared with the former.

Smith's Bible Dictionary

Egyptian saws, so far as has yet been discovered, are single-handed. As is the case in modern Oriental saws, the teeth usually incline toward the handle, instead of away from it like ours. They have, in most cases, bronze blades, apparently attached to the handles by leathern thongs. No evidence exists of the use of the saw applied to stone in Egypt, but we read of sawn stones used in the temple. (1 Kings 7:9) The saws "under" or "in" which David is said to have placed his captives were of iron. The expression in (2 Samuel 12:31) does not necessarily imply torture, but the word "cut" in (1 Chronicles 20:3) can hardly be understood otherwise.

House

Till their sojourn in Egypt the Hebrews dwelt in tents. They then for the first time inhabited cities (Gen. 47:3; Ex. 12:7; Heb. 11:9). From the earliest times the Assyrians and the Canaanites were builders of cities. The Hebrews after the Conquest took possession of the captured cities, and seem to have followed the methods of building that had been pursued by the Canaanites. Reference is made to the stone (1 Kings 7:9; Isa. 9:10) and marble (1 Chr. 29:2) used in building, and to the internal wood-work of the houses (

The houses of the rural poor in Egypt, as well as in most parts of Syria, Arabia and Persia, are generally mere huts of mud or sunburnt bricks. In some parts of Palestine and Arabia stone is used, and in certain districts caves in the rocks are used as dwellings. (Amos 5:11) The houses are usually of one story only, viz., the ground floor, and often contain only one apartment. Sometimes a small court for the cattle is attached; and in some cases the cattle are housed in the same building, or the live in a raised platform, and, the cattle round them on the ground. (1 Samuel 28:24) The windows are small apertures high up in the walls, sometimes grated with wood. The roofs are commonly but not always flat, and are usually formed of plaster of mud and straw laid upon boughs or…

Is often put for dwelling, residence; and hence the temple, and even the tabernacle, are called the house of God.

The universal mode of building houses in the East, is in the form of a hollow square, with an open court or yard in the center; which is thus entirely shut in by the walls of the house around it. Into this court all the windows open, there being usually no windows towards the street. Some houses of large size require several courts, and these usually communicate with each other. These courts are commonly paved; and in many large houses parts of them are planted with shrubs and trees, Ps 84:3 128:3; they have also, when possible, a fountain in them, often with a jet d’ eau, 2Sa 17:18.
