And where the glory is all the same.

The one of the chorus is still in.

Some green is very low. Today we look at the re-establishment of the people of Israel after the Babylonian exile.

Today we look at the re-establishment of the people of Israel after the Babylonian exile with the books

Ezra and Nehemiah. This book traditionally was written by Ezra, so who was

Ezra the scribe? was and he was a descendant of Shria and that was the last high priest who served in the original first temple the temple of Solomon. He was also a close relative of Yeshua or Joshua the first high priest to serve in the new the second temple

He was living in exile in the seventh year of King Art Exercies of Persia

when that king who was very tolerant towards the Jews

sent him back to Jerusalem to teach the law of God to the Judeans.

Ezra also led a group of Judeans from Babylon back to the destroyed city of Jerusalem,

and he retaught the people the Torah, the books of Moses there in Jerusalem.

Now it can be confusing because originally the Jewish people referred to the books we know as Ezra and Nehemiah simply as Ezra.

It was one book put together and it comes into Greek and Latin as

Estras.

Let's take a look at some of the history of this book as a manuscript.

The Christian theologian origin of Alexandria was the first one to divide this book into two parts,

and he named it first and second Estras. But St. Jerome

originally placed them together in one book in the Vulgate simply

called Estras and that is how they appear in the Latin Vulgate.

Estras.

Now you sometimes will see first and second Estras in a traditional Bible like the Dewey Rames.

First Estras is referring to the Book of Ezra and second Estras is referring to the book of Nehemias or Nehemiah.
