Transcription: Daniel's new boss, in keeping with the Persian policy of religious tolerance, granted permission for the first wave of Jewish exiles to return to Jerusalem, and the Book of Ezra tells their story. And yet, the sight that greeted the returning exiles in Jerusalem made them very sad. The city was a ghost town, burned and pillaged years before by the conquering Babylonians. The Temple of God was a mound of rubble.
