Which of the following people led the rebuilding of the temple in Jerusalem after the Jews returned from exile?

Answer Details

Zerubbabel and Jeshua led the rebuilding of the temple in Jerusalem after the Jews returned from exile. Zerubbabel was the governor of Judah, and Jeshua was the high priest. Together, they led the first group of Jews who returned from exile in Babylon to Jerusalem to rebuild the temple. They faced opposition from neighboring people who did not want the temple to be rebuilt, but Zerubbabel and Jeshua persevered and completed the temple in about 516 BC. This was a significant event for the Jewish people, as it marked the restoration of their worship of God in the temple, which had been destroyed by the Babylonians. The books of Ezra and Nehemiah in the Old Testament describe the rebuilding of the temple and the walls of Jerusalem under the leadership of Zerubbabel and Jeshua.
