EzraA scribe and priest who led the second group of exiles back to Jerusalem from Babylon. He is known for his dedication to the Law of Moses and his role in the spiritual and physical restoration of Jerusalem. 2.

Teaching Points God's ProvisionThe mention of camels and donkeys underscores God's provision for His people. Despite their exile, God ensured they had the necessary resources for their journey back to Jerusalem. Faithfulness in Small Details The detailed account of the animals shows that God cares about the specifics of our lives. We should trust Him with both the big and small aspects of our journey. Community and Cooperation The return involved a collective effort. The community worked together, pooling resources for the common goal of rebuilding Jerusalem. This teaches us the importance of unity and cooperation in achieving God's purposes. Fulfillment of Promises The return from exile is a testament to God's faithfulness in fulfilling His promises. We can trust that God will fulfill His promises to us, even if it takes time. Stewardship of Resources The careful accounting of resources reminds us of the importance of stewardship. We are called to manage what God has given us wisely and for His glory.(67) The asses, as throughout earlier Hebrew history, are the chief and most numerous beasts of burden.Verse 67. - Their asses. The ass (we see) is still, as in the earlier times, the chief beast of burden employed by the Israelites.

CHAPTER 2:68-70 THE OFFERINGS MADE BY THE RETURNED EXILES ON THEIR ARRIVAL AT JERUSALEM (vers. 68-70). It has been customary among the pious of all ages and countries to make thank-offerings to the Almighty on the accomplishment of any important or dangerous work. The long journey of the exiles from Babylonia to Jerusalem involved considerable risk (see Ezra 8:22, 31), and its successful termination naturally called forth their gratitude. The character of the offerings made is indicative of the fact, otherwise probable, that the exiles had turned all that they possessed into money, and had brought to Jerusalem a considerable amount of coin.
