Ezra 7:6-8

Modern English Version

⁶ this Ezra went up from Babylon. He was a scribe skilled in the Law of Moses, given by the Lord God of Israel. Because the hand of the Lord his God was upon him, the king granted him all his requests. ⁷ Some of the children of Israel, along with some of the priests, and the Levites, the singers, the porters, and the temple servants, went up to Jerusalem in the seventh year of King Artaxerxes.

⁸ Ezra arrived at Jerusalem in the fifth month, during the king’s seventh year.
