It was a death to make way for a rebirth.\u003c\/b\u003e The closely related books of Ezra and Nehemiah chart the Jews' return from exile to Jerusalem and the beginnings of that rebirth.

Following a structural \u003ci\u003eAnalysis\u003c\/i\u003e, the \u003ci\u003eCommentary\u003c\/i\u003e takes the book section by section, drawing out its main themes, and also comments on individual verses and problems of interpretation. \u003ci\u003eAdditional Notes\u003c\/i\u003e provide fuller discussion of particular difficulties.
