Good morning, everyone!
Today I read Ezra 1-3.
In today's reading, King Cyrus of Persia allows, even insists, that the Israelites return to Judah to rebuild God's temple in Jerusalem.
Following this declaration are the numbers of the people who returned.
I won't go through all of that with you, but I will give the total number of those returning: 42,360. This does not include servants.
And so the people returned, sacrificed to God, and began to rebuild the House of the Lord.
I hope you'll join me tomorrow when I read Ezra 4-7.
