May 1, 2025, Ezra 8:15-20 15  I gathered them to the river that runs to Ahava, and there we camped three days. As I reviewed the people and the priests, I found there none of the sons of Levi.  16  Then I sent for Eliezer, Ariel, Shemaiah, Elnathan, Jarib, Elnathan, Nathan, Zechariah, and Meshullam, leading men, and for Joiarib and Elnathan, who were men of insight,  17  and sent them to Iddo, the leading man at the place Casiphia, telling them what to say to Iddo and his brothers and the temple servants at the place Casiphia, namely, to send us ministers for the house of our God.  18  And by the good hand of our God on us, they brought us a man of discretion, of the sons of Mahli the son of Levi, son of Israel, namely Sherebiah with his sons and kinsmen, 18;  19  also Hashabiah, and with him Jeshaiah of the sons of Merari, with his kinsmen and their sons, 20;  20  besides 220 of the templ...

April 28, 2025, Ezra 6:19-22 19  On the fourteenth day of the first month, the returned exiles kept the Passover.  20  For the priests and the Levites had purified themselves together; all of them were clean. So they slaughtered the Passover lamb for all the returned exiles, for their fellow priests, and for themselves.  21  It was eaten by the people of Israel who had returned from exile, and also by every one who had joined them and separated himself from the uncleanness of the peoples of the land to worship the  Lord , the God of Israel.  22  And they kept the Feast of Unleavened Bread seven days with joy, for the  Lord  had made them joyful and had turned the heart of the king of Assyria to them, so that he aided them in the work of the house of God, the God of Israel. Israel allowed outsider to join them if they committed themselves to God. As I continue to read this book of the Bible, I think abo...

April 26, 2025, Ezra 6:1-12 6  Then Darius the king made a decree, and search was made in Babylonia, in the house of the archives where the documents were stored.  2  And in Ecbatana, the citadel that is in the province of Media, a scroll was found on which this was written: “A record.  3  In the first year of Cyrus the king, Cyrus the king issued a decree: Concerning the house of God at Jerusalem, let the house be rebuilt, the place where sacrifices were offered, and let its foundations be retained.

It is being built with huge stones, and timber is laid in the walls.
