Ezra traveled from Babylon to Jerusalem. The book gives a four-month time span but no precise route; the map therefore marks endpoints, not an itinerary.
How to read this map
Ezra’s birth and death years are unknown. The identity of the Artaxerxes in Ezra 7 and the ordering of Ezra and Nehemiah have been debated, so the calendar date is presented as the traditional reconstruction rather than certainty.
