This
Ezra went
up from
Babylon; and he was a
ready scribe in the
law of
Moses, which the
LORD God of
Israel had
given: and the
king granted him all his
request, according to the
hand of the
LORD his
God upon him.

And there went

heart to

LORD, and to
do it, and to
teach in
Israel statutes and
judgments.
