Ezra was one of the three people important in rebuilding Jerusalem after the Period of Exile ended with King Xerxes of Persia allowing the Jews to return to Israel. Zerubabbel rebuilt the temple, Nehemiah rebuilt the city walls, and Ezra rebuilt the religion. In fact, the Old testament canon we have today is largely in thanks to Ezra. He started the process by collecting the manuscripts that taught the law. By the time that the Greek Septuagint came out, the Old Testament Canon was largely established. Ezra also helped establish and reaffirm the close adherence of the Mosaic Law that would later become the Sanhedren spoken of in the New Testament. Quvmoh |
