| 2 | EZR | front | intro | fa5r | 0 | # Introduction to Ezra<br>## Part 1: General Introduction<br><br>### Outline of Ezra<br><br>1. The first Jewish exiles return to Jerusalem from Persia (1:1–2:70)<br>1. The people rebuild and dedicate the temple in Jerusalem (3:1–6:22)<br>1. More exiles return; Ezra teaches the Law of Yahweh (7:1-8:36)<br>1. The problem of the people marrying foreigners, and how it is solved (9:1–10:44)<br><br>### What is the Book of Ezra about?<br><br>The Book of Ezra is about how the people of Israel returned from Babylon and tried to worship Yahweh again as the law required. To do this they needed to rebuild their temple so they could sacrifice to Yahweh. (See: [[rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/temple]])<br><br>### How should the title of this book be translated?<br><br>The Book of Ezra is named for the priest Ezra who led the first group of Jews out of exile and back to Judah. Translators can use the traditional title “Ezra.” Or they might choose a clearer title, such as “The Book about Ezra.”<br><br>## Part 2: Important Religious and Cultural Concepts<br><br>### Why were Israelites not allowed to marry people from other nations?<br><br>Foreigners worshiped many false gods. Yahweh did not allow his people to marry foreigners. He knew this would cause the people of Israel to worship false gods. (See: [[rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/falsegod]])<br><br>### Did all of the people of Israel return to their homeland?<br><br>Many of the Jews remained in Babylon instead of returning to the Promised Land. Many of them were successful in Babylon and desired to remain there. However, this meant that they were unable to worship Yahweh in Jerusalem as their ancestors had done. (See: [[rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/promisedland]])<br><br>## Part 3: Important Translation Issues<br><br>### How does the Book of Ezra use the term “Israel”?<br><br>The Book of Ezra uses the term “Israel” to refer to the kingdom of Judah. It was mostly made up of the tribes of Judah and Benjamin. The other ten tribes had ended their loyalty to any kings descended from David. God allowed the Assyrians to conquer the other ten tribes and take them into exile. As a result, they mixed with other people groups and did not return to the land of Israel. (See: [[rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/israel]])<br><br>### Are the events in the Book of Ezra told in the order that they actually happened?<br><br>Some of the events in the Book of Ezra are not told in the order they actually happened. Translators should pay attention to notes that signal when events are probably out of order.<br> | |||
| 3 | EZR | 1 | intro | dd25 | 0 | # Ezra 01 General Notes<br>## Structure and formatting<br><br>The chapter records the story of the first Jews as they return from Persia to Judea.<br><br>## Special concepts in this chapter<br><br>### King Cyrus<br>King Cyrus allowed them to return because he wanted them to rebuild the temple. Those who stayed behind gave gifts to those who left to help them on their journey and resettlement. This practice was common under the reign of Cyrus and was used as a way to maintain peace throughout his kingdom. (See: [[rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/temple]])<br><br>## Possible translation difficulties in this chapter<br>### Jews<br>Upon return to Judea, the focus of the rest of the Old Testament is on the Jewish people.<br> | |||

| 5 | EZR | 1 | 1 | y7r9 | figs-metonymy | מִפִּ֣י יִרְמְיָ֑ה | 1 | by the mouth of Jeremiah | Here “mouth” represents speaking. Alternate translation: “Yahweh did what Jeremiah prophesied that Yahweh would do” (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metonymy]]) |
| 6 | EZR | 1 | 1 | l953 | יְהוָ֖ה | 1 | Yahweh | This is the name of God that he revealed to his people in the Old Testament. See the translationWord page about Yahweh concerning how to translate this. | |
| 7 | EZR | 1 | 1 | fn3a | figs-synecdoche | יְהוָ֗ה אֶת־ ר֨וּחַ֙ כֹּ֣רֶשׁ | 1 | Yahweh stirred the spirit of Cyrus | Here Cyrus is represented by his spirit. This speaks of Yahweh causing Cyrus to want to act as if he “stirred” his spirit. Alternate translation: “Yahweh ... made Cyrus want to act” (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-synecdoche]] and [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor]]) |
| 8 | EZR | 1 | 1 | yiq4 | figs-metonymy | וַיַּֽעֲבֶר־ קוֹל֙ בְּכָל־ מַלְכוּת֔וֹ | 1 | his voice went out throughout all his kingdom | The voice is a metonym for the message the voice speaks, and the kingdom is a metonym for the people whom a king rules. Alternate translation: “Cyrus sent a message to everyone over whom he ruled” (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metonymy]]) |
| 9 | EZR | 1 | 1 | x1wz | figs-activepassive | בְּמִכְתָּ֖ב לֵאמֹֽר | 1 | what was written was spoken | This can be translated in active form. It might be best to translate so the reader understands that other people might have helped Cyrus get the message to the people over whom he ruled. Alternate translation: “what Cyrus wrote and what his messengers read so people could hear them” (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-activepassive]] and [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-explicit]]) |
| 10 | EZR | 1 | 2 | aqj5 | figs-hyperbole | מַמְלְכ֣וֹת הָאָ֔רֶץ | 1 | all the kingdoms of the earth | Here “all” is an exaggeration, as there were kingdoms over which Cyrus did not rule. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-hyperbole]]) |
| 11 | EZR | 1 | 2 | gmx4 | figs-explicit | ל֣וֹ בַ֔יִת ... בִּֽיהוּדָֽה | 1 | for him a house ... in Judah | You may need to make explicit that the house was for people to worship Yahweh. Alternate translation: “a house in ... Judea where people can worship him” (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-explicit]]) |
| 12 | EZR | 1 | 3 | xf34 | עַמּ֗וֹ | 1 | his people | the people who belong to Yahweh. | |
| 13 | EZR | 1 | 4 | t7ux | וְכָל־ הַנִּשְׁאָ֗ר מִֽכָּל־ הַמְּקֹמוֹת֮ אֲשֶׁ֣ר ה֣וּא גָֽר־ שָׁם֒ יְנַשְּׂא֨וּהוּ֙ אַנְשֵׁ֣י מְקֹמ֔וֹ | 1 | Whoever survives in any place where he lives, let the people in that place help him | Those Israelites who choose to stay where they are should help those who choose to go to Jerusalem physically and financially. | |
| 14 | EZR | 1 | 5 | s2yg | figs-metonymy | לְכֹ֨ל הֵעִ֤יר הָאֱלֹהִים֙ אֶת־ רוּח֔וֹ לַעֲל֣וֹת | 1 | with everyone whose spirit God had stirred up to go up | Stirring the spirit is a metonym for making someone want to act. See how you translated these words in [Ezra 1:1](../01/01.md). Alternate translation: “everyone whom God had made want to go” (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metonymy]]) |
| 15 | EZR | 1 | 6 | wwg6 | חִזְּק֣וּ בִֽידֵיהֶ֔ם | 1 | strengthened their hands | This refers to the work of the people roused by God in the previous verse. | |

| 17 | EZR | 1 | 8 | wc54 | figs-metaphor | וַיּֽוֹצִיאֵ֗ם ... עַל־ יַ֖ד מִתְרְדָ֣ת הַגִּזְבָּ֑ר | 1 | brought them out by the hand of Mithredath the treasurer | Putting an object into someone’s hand is a metaphor for allowing that person to do what he wants with that object. Here the reader should understand that Cyrus expected Mithredath to do what Cyrus wanted him to do. Alternate translation: “put Mithredath the treasurer in charge of them” or “made Mithredath the treasurer responsible for them” (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor]]) |

In reality, besides ruling over the former Assyrian Empire, Darius was also king of Persia. Persia had conquered Babylon, which had previously conquered Assyria. This made the king of Persia, the king of Assyria as well. It was unusual to refer to Darius as the king or ruler of Assyria. Ezra may have referred to him in this way to contrast Darius’ actions with those of the former rulers of Assyria, who had treated the Jews very cruelly. It was those earlier Assyrian rulers who had conquered the northern tribes of Israel and deported them to other lands. It was for this reasons that the northern tribes lost their identity and were no longer a distinct people group.<br> | |||
