Jewish people. Then, half a century later, Babylon was conquered by Cyrus, and thus Persia became, in turn, the mistress of the world. The exiled Jews now found in Cyrus a more lenient master: a royal decree was issued permitting them to return to the country Of their fathers. About jewsi took advantage of this opportunity, and went back to Jerusalem under Zerubbabel, who was the representative and heir of the royal house of Judah. Of course, Zerubbabel in Jerusalem was simply a pasha, or governor, under the Persian king; but he and the returned Jews set to work, and by-and-by, stimulated by the prophets Haggai and Zechariah, thev succeeded in rebuilding the Temple. Fifty years afterwards Ezra the priest came from Babylon with another company Of nearly Jews, bringing with him a large free-will offering of silver and gold for the enriching and beautifying Of the Temple; and then, about fourteen years after this coming Of Ezra, Nehemiah appears on the scene.
