~~{{nt_versions}}~~The book of Ezra continues the [[Old Testament]] narrative of [[2 Chronicles]] by showing how [[God]] fulfilled His promise to return His people to Israel after seventy years of exile. It relates the story of two returns from Babylon, the first led by [[Zerubbabel]] to rebuild the temple, and the second under the leadership of [[Ezra]] to rebuild the spiritual condition of the people. Ezra is the Aramaic form of the Hebrew word ezer, "help," and perhaps means "Yahweh helps."----
