What's In The Bible: Heroes Of The Old TestamentSample
Ezra was an Israelite priest living in Babylon (in the Persian Empire) during the exile. The new king of the Persian Empire was a man named Artaxerxes. Artaxerxes told Ezra to go back to Israel, where the Israelites were rebuilding the temple in Jerusalem, and teach them God's law. When Ezra arrived, he found the Israelites worshipping other gods! He tore his clothes and hair and told the people to repent. They did and Ezra became the priest over all of Israel.
