UNDER ARTAXERXES I; EZRA RETURNS FROM BABYLON"After these things in the reign of Artaxerxes king of Persia ..."This verse establishes the chronology of this chapter which features Ezra's journey from Babylon to Jerusalem, but the problem centers in the question of just which one of the two kings of Persia named Artaxerxes is the one spoken of here.Those kings were Artaxerxes I (Longimanus) who reigned 465-425 B.C., and Artaxerxes II (Mnemon) who ruled in 405(4) to 358 B.C. Depending upon which... read more

THE LETTER OF ARTAXERXES COMMISSIONING EZRA (Ezra 7:11-16)"Now this is the copy of the letter that the king Artaxerxes gave unto Ezra the priest, the scribe, even the scribe of the words of the commandments of Jehovah, and of his statutes to Israel: Artaxerxes, king of kings, unto Ezra the priest, the scribe of the law of the God of heaven, perfect, and so forth."Beginning with Ezra 7:12, the letter of Artaxerxes is written in Aramaic, following which, in Ezra 7:27, Ezra again wrote in... read more

EZRA WAS COMMANDED TO GO TO JERUSALEM"I make a decree, that all they of the people of Israel, and their priests and the Levites, in my realm, that are minded of their own free will to go to Jerusalem, go with thee.

INSTRUCTIONS REGARDING THE MONEY"And whatsoever shall seem good to thee and to thy brethren to do with the rest of the silver and the gold, that do ye after the will of your God. And the vessels that are given thee for the service of the house of thy God, deliver thee before the God of Jerusalem. And whatsover more may be needed for the house of thy God, which thou shalt have occasion to bestow, bestow it out of the king's treasure-house.

A TAX EXEMPTION FOR ALL RELIGIOUS EMPLOYEES"Whatsoever is commanded by the God of heaven, let it be done exactly for the house of the God of heaven; for why should there be wrath against the king and his sons? Also we certify you, that touching any of the priests and Levites, the singers, porters, Nethinim, or servants of this house of God, it shall not be lawful to impose tribute, custom, or toll, upon them.""Why should there be wrath against the king and his sons" (Ezra 7:23)?

EZRA'S AUTHORITY EXTENDED TO INCLUDE ALL BEYOND THE RIVERThere was some quality of mind and character among a number of ancient Jewish leaders that earned for them the respect and honor of world rulers who observed them. Joseph under Pharaoh, Daniel under Nebuchadnezzar, and now Ezra under Artaxerxes I were all granted a status under their respective overlords that was little less than that of a deputy monarch. Note the following:"And thou, Ezra, after the wisdom of thy God that is in thy hand,... read more
