Ezra 7:7-9

GOD’S WORD Translation

⁷ Some Israelites (including priests, Levites, singers, gatekeepers, and temple servants) went to Jerusalem in Artaxerxes’ seventh year as king. ⁸ In that same year in the fifth month, Ezra arrived in Jerusalem. ⁹ He had left Babylon on the first day of the first month, and on the first day of the fifth month, he arrived in Jerusalem, since his God was good to him.
