NEHEMIAH
NAME _______________________
SCORE _________
I WILL DO MY BEST TO READ THE BOOK NEHEMIAH DURING THE FOLLOWING MONTH.

INTRODUCTION:  The Jews returning back to the land of Israel from Babylonian captivity is covered in the two books of Ezra and Nehemiah.   The scriptures record that there were at least three efforts to return to the land of Israel by those in captivity.  The first occurred in 536 B.C. under Zerubabbel.  The second under Ezra in 457 B.C..  The third was under Nehemiah around 444 B.C.   May our faith grow from a study of the Word of God.
