Note Ezra’s vivid description of the situation, as found at 2 Chronicles 36: 15: “Jehovah the God of their forefathers kept sending against them by means of his messengers, sending again and again, because he felt compassion for his people and for his dwelling. ”
Pane tähele, kui kujukalt Esra seda olukorda 2. Ajaraamat 36: 15 kirjeldab: „Jehoova, nende vanemate Jumal, läkitas neile korduvalt sõna oma käskjalgade läbi, sest ta tahtis säästa oma rahvast ja oma eluaset. ”
