Try to see the motivation and feelings of Cyrus toward this prophecy and the freeing of the Jews. The books of the Bible do not fall into chronological order. Their position is determined usually by whether they are historical or prophetic books.
The books of Ezra and Nehemiah were originally part of a compilation that included 1 and 2 Chronicles. Ezra —3 and 2 Chronicles —23 and are almost identical. The books of Ezra and Nehemiah are actually the last two historical books of the Old Testament. Zechariah and Haggai were prophets during this same period.
Malachi is the only prophet known to have served in Israel between the time of Ezra and Nehemiah and the beginning of the New Testament.
In Jeremiah —12 and the prophet Jeremiah spoke of seventy years of Babylonian captivity. See Enrichment J for biographical data on Cyrus the Great, the first king of the Persian Empire, and how the prophecy of Isaiah concerning Cyrus in Isaiah ; 45 likely influenced his actions toward the Jews.
Ezra —65 indicates that approximately fifty thousand people made the first trip back to Jerusalem. Ezra tells of the responsibilities of the Jews who remained in Babylonia.
By far, most of the expatriated Jews chose not to return to Jerusalem at this time, a decision that indicates how well they had been absorbed into the Babylonian way of life. The Lord saw to it that the exiles did not return empty handed; neither did the children of Israel at the time of the Exodus from Egypt see Exodus — Precious items were collected to be used to adorn the temple as the Lord had specified.
That Cyrus would allow such wealth to be gathered for the temple is an indication of how seriously he viewed the prophecy of Isaiah concerning him.
Sheshbazzar is identified in Ezra as the prince of Judah. Ezra indicates that Cyrus made Sheshbazzar the governor, but his name is not mentioned in the list of the returning Jews. Haggai identifies Zerubbabel as the governor of Judah see Ezra Many scholars have therefore identified Sheshbazzar and Zerubbabel as the same person. The book of 1 Esdras in the Apocrypha and other authorities say they are two people.
The evidence seems to favor the idea of two separate persons. Both were of the royal line of Judah, and both were probably appointed by Cyrus. Zerubbabel has become the more famous in history because he outlived the older Sheshbazzar.
Zerubbabel was a descendant of Jehoiachin, the king who was carried away captive into Babylon see Enrichments A and G , which descent means he was of the royal Davidic line. Zerubbabel was the governor of Judah see Haggai The second temple in Jerusalem is often called the temple of Zerubbabel. Haggai and Zechariah prophesied favorably about the role and trustworthiness of Zerubbabel see Haggai , 21—23 ; Zechariah —9.
The name Jeshua appears in the book of Ezra but is also spelled Joshua in Haggai. This man, Jeshua, was the high priest see Haggai Zerubbabel and Jeshua, being motivated by the prophetic inspiration of Haggai and Zechariah, together directed the rebuilding of the temple see Ezra ; Haggai —14 ; Zechariah By marrying out of the covenant, some Israelites lost the right to have their descendants officiate in the priesthood.
The Tirshatha was the title of the governor of Judea under the Persians. Jeshua, the high priest, and Zerubbabel, the governor, cooperated to direct the rebuilding of the temple. The altar was necessary so that worship and sacrifice could begin again according to the pattern laid down by Moses see Leviticus 1—7.
The singers: the sons of Asaph, one hundred and twenty-eight. The sons of the gatekeepers: the sons of Shallum, the sons of Ater, the sons of Talmon, the sons of Akkub, the sons of Hatita, and the sons of Shobai, one hundred and thirty-nine in all.
The Nethinim: the sons of Ziha, the sons of Hasupha, the sons of Tabbaoth, the sons of Keros, the sons of Siaha, the sons of Padon, the sons of Lebanah, the sons of Hagabah, the sons of Akkub, the sons of Hagab, the sons of Shalmai, the sons of Hanan, the sons of Giddel, the sons of Gahar, the sons of Reaiah, the sons of Rezin, the sons of Nekoda, the sons of Gazzam, the sons of Uzza, the sons of Paseah, the sons of Besai, the sons of Asnah, the sons of Meunim, the sons of Nephusim, the sons of Bakbuk, the sons of Hakupha, the sons of Harhur, the sons of Bazluth, the sons of Mehida, the sons of Harsha, the sons of Barkos, the sons of Sisera, the sons of Tamah, the sons of Neziah, and the sons of Hatipha.
Jedaiah… Immer… Pashhur… Harim : These families represent only four of the twenty-four divisions of the priesthood established by King David in 1 Chronicles Most of the priests stayed behind in Babylon.
Babkuk may have earned his nickname by his big belly; or because his constant chatter sounded like the bubbling sound of water poured out from a bottle. The Levites : The total number of Levites was actually less than the number of priests that returned.
This means that a remarkably small percentage of the Levites returned from Babylon. Nearly ten times as many priests as Levites went back to the land. This, of course, was an inversion of the original order. Some speculate that the Levites were particularly invested in worship at the high places, scattered on the hills all around pre-exilic Israel and Judah.
The purifying fires of exile effectively burned out this idolatrous impulse, and therefore few Levites wanted to return to the Promised Land. All the Nethinim : These seem to be the descendants of the Gibeonites, who were made special servants of the Levites and the priests at the temple.
They came into Israel as foreign proselytes. God is no respecter of persons. These sought their listing among those who were registered by genealogy, but they were not found; therefore they were excluded from the priesthood as defiled. And the governor said to them that they should not eat of the most holy things till a priest could consult with the Urim and Thummim. These were those who had some claim to a priestly lineage but could not prove their genealogy.
They were therefore excluded from the priesthood as defiled. They should not eat of the most holy things till a priest could consult with the Urim and Thummim : Those with questionable genealogies were not permanently excluded; each case required more research and seeking God.
The whole assembly together was forty-two thousand three hundred and sixty, besides their male and female servants, of whom there were seven thousand three hundred and thirty-seven; and they had two hundred men and women singers. Their horses were seven hundred and thirty-six, their mules two hundred and forty-five, their camels four hundred and thirty-five, and their donkeys six thousand seven hundred and twenty.
The whole assembly together : The size of this entire group is here stated to be about 50, However, this was only the first wave of repatriation to Israel from the Babylonian captivity and includes only the heads of families. The approximate total of the returned exiles was probably somewhere between , and , This was only a small percentage of those who had been exiled and their descendants; the great majority stayed behind in Babylon.
As a whole, Israelites had some reason to feel comfortable in Babylon. The Murashu tablets were discovered in and are records from Murashu and his sons, wealthy bankers and brokers of the late period of exile, who seemed to loan out almost anything for a price.
These appear as contracting parties, agents, witnesses, collectors of taxes, and royal officials. Jude 2 Nov. Revelation 16 Nov. Revelation 17 Nov.
