Ezra Reads the Law to the People by Gustave Doré, 1866

Ezra forms a unit with the book Nehemiah. The book of Tanakh relating Jewish history during the early Second Holy Temple Era under the leadership of Ezra and Nehemiah.[1] Parts of the book are written in Hebrew and the rest in Aramaic. The biblical book describes how (some) Jews returned from Babylon Exile to Israel and rebuilding the Temple. The construction of the temple was financed by Persian king Cyrus II the Great.[2] Ezra the Scribe, is credited with compiling the final version of the 5 books of Written Torah.
