Ezra gathers the returnees by the river Ahava, discovers that no Levites are present, and recruits qualified servants for the house of God. The group fasts and seeks God for a safe journey rather than requesting a military escort. Ezra carefully assigns the valuable temple gifts to trustworthy priests and later verifies them in Jerusalem.
