SEV Biblia, Chapter 7:11
¶ Y éste es el traslado de la carta que dio el rey Artajerjes a Esdras, sacerdote escriba; escriba de las palabras mandadas del SEÑOR, y de sus estatutos sobre Israel:
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 11. Now this is the copy of the letter that the King Artaxerxes gave unto Ezra the priest, etc.] This title relating to his office is justly given him, since he was the son of an high priest, and lineally descended from Aaron, as the above account of his pedigree shows: the scribe, even a scribe of the words of the commandments of the Lord, and of his statutes to Israel; the doubling of the word “scribe”) shows that he was very wise and learned in the law, in the commandments and statutes of it the Lord gave to Israel; not only in the language of it in which it was written, but in the matter and substance of it, in the things contained in it; for yrbd “dibre”, signfiies “things” as well as words.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 11-26 - The liberality of heathen kings to support the worship of God reproached the conduct of many kings of Judah, and will rise up i judgment against the covetousness of wealthy professed Christians, wh will not promote the cause of God. But the weapons of Christia ministers are not carnal. Faithful preaching, holy lives, ferven prayers, and patient suffering when called to it, are the means to bring men into obedience to Christ.
