Bible version
Commentary
Ezra 2 is a chapter that records the return of the Israelites from exile in Babylon to the land of Judah. This chapter is a continuation of the narrative from the previous chapter, which records the decree of Cyrus, the king of Persia, allowing the Israelites to return to their homeland. In this chapter, we see a list of the people who returned to Judah. This list is divided into two parts: the first part is a list of the leaders of the people, and the second part is a list of the people themselves. This list is significant because it shows the size of the group that returned to Judah, and it also shows the diversity of the people who returned. The chapter also records the offerings that the people brought with them when they returned. These offerings were given to the temple in Jerusalem, and they were used to help rebuild the temple and the city. Finally, the chapter records the dedication of the people to the Lord. They vowed to keep the commandments of the Lord and to serve Him faithfully. This is an important reminder of the importance of obedience to God and of the need to remain faithful to Him. Overall, Ezra 2 is an important chapter in the Bible that records the return of the Israelites from exile in Babylon and the dedication of the people to the Lord. It is a reminder of the importance of obedience to God and of the need to remain faithful to Him.
