#### Structure and formatting

The chapter records the story of the first Jews as they return from Persia to Judea.

#### Special concepts in this chapter

##### King Cyrus
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]])

#### Possible translation difficulties in this chapter
