Oración de Esdras

27 «Bendito sea el SEÑOR, Dios de nuestros antepasados, que puso en el corazón del rey el propósito de honrar el templo del SEÑOR en Jerusalén.

28 Por su infinito amor, él me ha permitido recibir el favor del rey, de sus consejeros y de todos sus funcionarios más importantes. Y porque el SEÑOR mi Dios estaba conmigo, cobré ánimo y reuní a los jefes de Israel para que me acompañaran a Jerusalén».

In this chapter we have the lineage and character of Ezra described, Ezr 7:1-6, his expedition to Jerusalem, and of many others with him, Ezr 7:7-10, a copy of the commission King Artaxerxes gave him to execute, Ezr 7:11-26, and his thankfulness, Ezr 7:27,28.

and the dedication of it, and keeping the passover:

\\in the reign of Artaxerxes king of Persia\\; in the seventh year of his reign, Ezr 7:7,8, who is the same with Darius in the preceding chapter; so Jarchi and Aben Ezra; \\See Gill on "Ezr 6:14"\\.

\\Ezra the son of Seraiah\\; the high priest slain by Nebuchadnezzar Jer 52:24,27, this Ezra was a younger son of his, brother to Josedech, and uncle to Joshua, who were high priests in succession; his pedigree is carried in the ascending line up to Aaron, in this and the four following verses; only six generations, for brevity sake, are omitted, between Azariah and Meraioth, which may be supplied from 1Ch 6:7-10, \\See Gill on "1Ch 6:3\\. 20133-950205-1547-Ezr7.2
