Ezra 7:8-10

Modern English Version

⁸ Ezra arrived at Jerusalem in the fifth month, during the king’s seventh year. ⁹ From the first day of the first month when the journey from Babylon began, until the first day of the fifth month when he arrived at Jerusalem, the good hand of his God was upon him. ¹⁰ Because Ezra had prepared his heart to seek the Law of the Lord, he was doing so and teaching the statutes and judgments in Israel.
