7 So in the seventh year of King Artaxerxes (I will make the spoiled to boil), he went up to Jerusalem (city of peace) with some of the Israelites (God prevails), including priests, Levites, singers, gatekeepers, and temple servants {Nethinim}. 8 Ezra arrived in Jerusalem (city of peace) in the fifth month of the seventh year of the king. 9 He had begun the journey from Babylon (confusion by mixing) on the first day of the first month, and he arrived in Jerusalem (city of peace) on the first day of the fifth month, for the gracious hand of his God {Elohaw} was upon him. 10 For Ezra (help) had set his heart to study the Law of the LORD {YHWH}, to practice it, and to teach its statutes and ordinances in Israel (he wrestles with God).
