H7558 H7558
permission, authorization, royal grant
This noun means permission or authorization, appearing only in Ezra 3:7 where the returned exiles give money and provisions to workers 'according to the permission of Cyrus.' The term denotes official royal authorization—not mere tolerance but explicit grant. This legal precision matters in Ezra's narrative: the restoration happens not as rebellion but as imperially sanctioned project. The Persian king's written permission validates the temple rebuilding, protecting it from local opposition.
Senses
1. sense 1 — Ezra 3:7 describes provision of supplies 'according to the grant of Cyrus king of Persia'—the royal authorization that legitimizes the entire restoration enterprise. Spanish 'según autorización' (according to authorization) captures the formal, legal character. This isn't informal approval but documented permission, likely referring to Cyrus's famous decree allowing the Jews to return and rebuild. The phrase grounds the restoration in official sanction, making opposition to it resistance to imperial policy. 1×
