Esdras 7:25-26

25 Et toi, Esdras, établis des magistrats et des juges, selon la sagesse de ton Dieu, que tu possèdes, afin qu'ils fassent justice à tout le peuple qui est au delà du fleuve, à tous ceux qui connaissent les lois de ton Dieu; enseignez-les à quiconque ne les connaît point.
26 Et pour tous ceux qui n'observeront pas la loi de ton Dieu et la loi du roi, qu'aussitôt il en soit fait justice, soit par la mort, soit par le bannissement, soit par quelque amende pécuniaire, soit par l'emprisonnement.

INTRODUCTION TO EZRA 7

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
