Esdras 7:25 Meaning and Commentary

Ezra 7:25

And thou, Ezra, after the wisdom of thy God, that is in thine
hand
Which he had a large share of from the Lord, and could readily make use of to good purpose; and this may be meant of the law of God made with the highest wisdom, and to know and observe which is an instance of wisdom in men, ( Deuteronomy 4:6 ) ,

set magistrates and judges, which may judge all the people that are
beyond the river, all such as know the laws of thy God;
such as God, in his great wisdom, directed to in his wise law to be appointed over the people, to judge righteous judgment; to inform them in all matters of controversy that might arise among them, and decide them according to it; and lead them into a greater and better knowledge of it, ( Deuteronomy 16:18 ) ( 17:9 ) . Jarchi takes the word for "set" to be a comparative, and the sense to be, that the wisdom of Ezra was greater than the judges that judged the people, than them that knew the law:

and teach ye them that know them not;
such people that were ignorant thereof; though the above writer interprets this of ignorant judges,

``the judge that knows not to judge, make him know judgment to do it.''

Esdras 7:25 In-Context

23 Tudo o que o Deus dos céus tenha prescrito, que se faça com presteza para o templo do Deus dos céus, para que a sua ira não venha contra o império do rei e dos seus descendentes.
24 Saibam tambĂ©m que vocĂȘs nĂŁo tĂȘm autoridade para exigir impostos, tributos ou taxas de nenhum sacerdote, levita, cantor, porteiro, servidor do templo e de nenhum dos que trabalham nesse templo de Deus.
25 “E vocĂȘ, Esdras, com a sabedoria que o seu Deus deu a vocĂȘ, nomeie magistrados e juĂ­zes para ministrarem a justiça a todo o povo do territĂłrio situado a oeste do Eufrates, a todos os que conhecem as leis do seu Deus. E aos que nĂŁo as conhecem vocĂȘ deverĂĄ ensinĂĄ-las.
26 Aquele que nĂŁo obedecer Ă  lei do Deus de vocĂȘs e Ă  lei do rei seja punido com a morte, ou com o exĂ­lio, ou com o confisco de bens, ou com a prisĂŁo”.
27 Bendito seja o SENHOR, o Deus de nossos antepassados, que pÎs no coração do rei o propósito de honrar desta maneira o templo do SENHOR em Jerusalém,
