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.
