The Babylonian Exile was brought to an end when Cyrus the Great of Persia conquered the neo-Babylonian empire in 539 BCE. In accordance with Persian policy of cultural and religious independence for its conquered subjects, Cyrus permitted the exiled Judeans to return to their homeland, where they rebuilt their temple.

Ezra was Babylonian Jew, from a priestly family, who describes himself as a scribe. According to the Book of Ezra, the Persian emperor commissioned him to travel to Jerusalem, to enforce Mosaic Law. Despite the fact that Pentateuchal law did not forbid marriages to foreign women, Ezra took it upon himself to prohibit intermarriage and demand that Judahite men divorce foreign wives. Ezra went beyond the Pentateuch in claiming that conversion to Yahwism was inadequate because no foreigner was "holy seed."
