In the Bible, Ezra is a significant figure known for his role as a scribe and priest who led the return of the Jewish exiles from Babylon to Jerusalem. He is credited with re-establishing the Torah as the foundation of Jewish life and worship in the post-exilic community.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>Ezra lived during the 5th century BCE, a time when the Jewish people were returning from Babylonian exile. The Persian Empire, under King Artaxerxes, allowed the Jews to return to their homeland and rebuild the temple in Jerusalem. Ezra was a key leader in this period, emphasizing the importance of the Law of Moses and religious reform. His efforts were crucial in shaping the religious identity of the Jewish people during the Second Temple period.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>(Aramaic) corresponding to <a href="/hebrew/5830.htm">Ezra</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>an Isr.<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>Ezra (3).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Strong's Exhaustive Concordance</div>Ezra <p>(Aramaic) corresponding to <a href="/hebrew/5830.htm">Ezra'</a>;
