Ezra 7:6

_ _ This Ezra ... was a ready scribe in the law of Moses — The term “scribe” does not mean merely a penman, nor even an attorney well versed in forms of law and skilled in the method of preparing public or private deeds. He was a rabbi, or doctor, learned in the Mosaic law, and in all that related to the civil and ecclesiastical polity and customs of the Hebrew people. Scribes of this description possessed great authority and influence (compare Matthew 23:25; Mark 12:28).

_ _ the king granted him all his request — left Babylon entrusted with an important commission to be executed in Jerusalem. The manner in which he obtained this office is minutely related in a subsequent passage. Here it is noticed, but with a pious acknowledgment of the divine grace and goodness which disposed the royal mind in favor of Ezra’s patriotic objects. The Levites, etc., did not go at that time, but are mentioned here by anticipation.

See commentary on Ezra 7:1-10.

Ezra 7:6

Went — With the king's consent and commission. Scribe — A learned and expert doctor. The Jews say, he collected and collated all the copies of the law, and published an accurate edition of it, with all the books that were given by Divine inspiration, and so made up the canon of the Old Testament. Moses in Egypt, and Ezra in Babylon, were wonderfully fitted for eminent service to the church. According, &c. — By the favour of God so disposing the heart of the king.
