Ezra the scribe travels to Jerusalem and studies to teach

6This Ezra went up from Babylon, and he was a skilled scribe in the Law of Moses, which Yahweh, the God of Israel, had given. And the king granted him all his request, according to the hand of Yahweh his God upon him.

7And some of the sons of Israel, and some of the priests, and the Levites, and the singers, and the gatekeepers, and the temple servants went up to Jerusalem in the seventh year of King Artaxerxes.

8And he came to Jerusalem in the fifth month, which was the seventh year of the king.

9For on the first day of the first month he began the journey up from Babylon, and on the first day of the fifth month he came to Jerusalem, according to the good hand of his God upon him.

10For Ezra had set his heart to seek the Law of Yahweh, and to do it, and to teach statutes and judgments in Israel.
