Ezra

Introduction

The account of Ezra, is like a continuation of The Chronicles. It’s told here about the returning home of other Jews who had been taken to Babylon as captives, and the returning of living and worshipping in Yerushalem (Jerusalem). It’s divided into three main sections: 1.) The declaration of King Koresh (Cyrus) of Persia (Heb. Paras) to allow a group of exiled Jews to return to Yerushalem from Babylon. 2.) The rebuilding of the temple and its dedication, and the return to worshipping Yahweh there in Yerushalem. 3.) XXX The returning home there to Yerushalem of that different e again group of Jews impanguluwan of Ezra, the one knowledgable of Law of God. He assisted the Israelis to return to their beliefs and customs, so that their worshipping of the true God wouldn’t be forgotten.

1:1 Koresh returns some Jews

1In the first year that Koresh (Cyrus) was king of Persia (Heb. Paras), Yahweh stirred up his spirit in order to fulfil what he’d spoken through the prophet Yirmeyah (Jeremiah).[ref] So the king distributed a written proclamation throughout his kingdom, saying, 2Koresh, king of Persia, declares this: Yahweh, the god of heaven, has given me all the kingdoms in the world, and he’s appointed me to build a residence for him in Yerushalem in Yehudah.[ref] 3Anyone among you who’s one of his followers is free to go to Yerushalem (in Yehudah) to help build a temple there for Israel’s God Yahweh—the god of Yerushalem. May God go with you. 4Those who live near these people but who’re not going themselves, should donate gold and silver, and goods and livestock, plus cash as a voluntary offering for God’s temple in Yerushalem.

5Then some of the leaders of Benyamin and Yehudah, and some priests and Levites—all of whom had had their spirits stirred up by God—left to go and build Yahweh’s residence in Yerushalem. 6Their neighbours had helped them by donating gold and silver utensils, goods and livestock, and expensive gifts, as well as the voluntary offerings of cash.

7Then King Koresh brought out the equipment from Yahweh’s temple that Nebuchadnezzar had brought all the way from Yerushalem and had put in the house of his gods. 8He put the treasurer Mitedat in charge of bringing them out and Sheshbatstsar, the ruler of Yehudah, in charge of accepting them and listing them. 9There were: thirty gold basins, one thousand silver basins, twenty-nine knives, 10thirty gold bowls, 410 silver bowls, and a thousand other utensils, 11coming to a total of 5,400 gold and silver utensils. Sheshbatstsar took all of that with the group of exiles going from Babylon to Yerushalem.

2:1 The list of returning exiles

(Neh. 7:4-73)

2Out of the captives that King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon had brought as slaves to Babylon, these are their descendants who returned to Yerushalem in Yehudah—each person returning to their own ancestral town. 2The ones who went with Zerubbabel were: Yeshua, Nehemyah, Serayah, Re’elayah, Mordecai, Bilshan, Mispar, Bigvai, Rehum, and Ba’anah.

Their numbers were:

21And from these towns:

36The priests who returned:

40The Levites who returned:

43The temple servants who returned:

55The descendants of Shelomoh’s (Solomon’s) servants who returned:

58Altogether there were 392 descendants of temple workers and Shelomoh’s servants who returned.

59Another group went from the towns of Tel-Melah, Tel-Harsha, Keruv, Addon, and Immer, but they didn’t know their ancestry from before they were taken as captives.

60There were 652 people who were descendants of Delayah, Toviyyah, and Nekoda, 61and from the sons of the priests: the descendants of Havayyah; the descendants of Hakkots; and the descendants of Barzillai, who took a wife from the daughters of Barzillai the Gileadite, so he was called by their name. 62They had searched for their records among the genealogies, but couldn’t find their families listed, so they were disqualified to serve as priests. 63Also the governor told them that they mustn’t eat any of the holiest food until a priest could use the Urim and Thummim to determine their status.[ref]

64Altogether in this group, 42,360 people returned to Yehudah. 65not counting their 7,337 male and female servants, plus 200 male and female musicians. 66They also took 736 horses and 245 mules, 67435 camels and 6,720 donkeys.

68When some of the heads of families got to Yahweh’s temple in Yerushalem, they freely donated so that it could be rebuilt. 69They each donated to the treasury according to their individual resourcesa total of sixty-one thousand gold coins, five thousand silver bars, and a hundred sets of clothing for the priests.

70So the priests and the Levites, and some pf the people, and the singers, and the gatekeepers and the temple servants returned to live in their ancestral cities, and so all the Israeli cities had returnees living in them.[ref]

3:1 Rebuilding the altar

3In the seventh month, the Israelis from their various cities, gathered together in unity in Yerushalem. 2Then Yotsadak’s son Yeshua and his brothers the priests, and Shealti’el’s son Zerubavel and his brothers, and they built the altar to offer up burnt offerings to Israel’s God on it as is written in the law of Mosheh, the man of God.[ref] 3They set the altar up on its foundation because they were worried about trouble from some of the other people groups in the region. Then they offered burnt offerings to Yahweh on it as well as the regular morning and evening burnt offerings.[ref] 4Then they observed the Celebration in Shelters as per the written instructions[ref] with a burnt offering each day as required. 5After that was over, they kept up the regular burnt offerings, plus those for the new moons and other times that Yahweh required, as well as any free-will offerings to Yahweh.[ref] 6
