📚 About this Book
✦ Chapter Overview

Ezra records that the Israelites and Judahites who had returned from exile were now gathering together, but some of them had not kept the law and had returned to worship the foreign gods. The chapter notes the census of the faithful, the division of the land among the tribes, and the preparation for the dedication of the temple.
