John Gill Commentary Ezra 5:2

"Then rose up Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, and Jeshua the son of Jozadak, and began to build the house of God which is at Jerusalem; and with them were the prophets of God, helping them." — Ezra 5:2 (ASV)

Ezra 5:26

And it shall be forgiven all the congregation of the children
of Israel
Which is repeated for the certainty of it, and for the sake of what follows:

and the stranger that sojourneth among them ;
the proselyte of righteousness; so the blessing of pardon, through the propitiatory sacrifice of Christ, comes upon believing Gentiles as well as Jews, (Romans 4:9) (1 John 2:2) ;

seeing all the people [were] in ignorance ;
both the congregation of Israel and the stranger; (See Gill on Numbers 15:25).
