Peter: "Okay, so Ezra 2 starts off with a list of people who returned to Jerusalem from exile with their families and livestock. They had a lot of stuff - like, 77500 people, 20000 animals, and tons of gold, silver and other stuff. Brian: Wow, that's a lot! Peter: Yeah, and they all had different names, like the sons of Parosh, the sons of Shephatiah, the sons of Arah and so on. Oh, and they all had a priest named Ezra with them.

Lois: That's really cool! So what happened next?

Peter: Well, the people got together and gave offerings to the Lord. They gave whatever they could to help with the restoration of the Temple. But then, the people of the province of Babylon got jealous and tried to stop them.

Stewie: Aw, that's not fair!

Peter: Yeah, I know. So then, the people of Israel had to go to the king of Persia and explain what was going on. He was like, 'I decree that these people can go and rebuild the Temple.'

Lois: That's awesome!

Peter: Yeah! So then, they went back and started building the Temple, and they got the help of some of their neighbors, like the people of Gibeon. And then, they finished the Temple, and they celebrated by bringing sacrifices and offerings to the Lord.

Brian: Wow, that's quite a story!

Peter: Yeah, it sure is! And that's the end of Ezra 2!
