EZRA 8
GOD PROTECTS EZRA + THE ISRAELITES
Ezra provides a genealogy of the Israelites who returned with him to Jerusalem from exile in Babylon. Ezra chooses a group of Levites, descendants of Levi, to fulfill the role of priests.
Instead of asking the king for soldiers or horsemen, Ezra and the Israelites humble themselves with fasting and prayer before God for protection. The Israelites make it back to Jerusalem safely, with the Levites as appointed guards for their offerings. Once they arrive, the Israelites provide gifts and offerings to the temple.
STUDY QUESTIONS
Read Ezra 8:21-23. What did Ezra do instead of requesting an army? Do you think this was a genuine act of faith or a desperate plea for help?
