Ezra was a Jewish priestly scribe who led 5,000 Israelites from Babylon to Jerusalem. Ezra reconstituted the dispersed Jewish community with an emphasis on the Law and resolved the identity threat which had cropped up due to intermarriage between Jews and foreigners. His knowledge of the Torah was thought to be as deep as that of Moses, and he provided a definite reading of the Torah.
