Ezra records events surrounding the return of the Jews from Babylonia to Jerusalem and the rebuilding of the temple. Â
This book makes up one of three "Post-exilic" books in the Old Testament (Ezra, Nehemiah and Esther).Â
Chapter 6 continues with details about the ongoing building of the "second" temple in Jerusalem, it's dedication, and the Passover celebrated again in Jerusalem following the exile.
