📚 About this Book
✦ Chapter Overview

Ezra and Nehemiah go to Jerusalem to organize the people and enforce the law. They divide the community into three groups, judging those who have kept the commandments, those who have broken them, and those who have not answered. The chapter ends with the judgment being carried out.

🔍 Text
