Unto Ezra the priest, a scribe of the law of the God of heaven Or, as the Hebrew may be rendered, a perfect scribe of the law, &c., a title which, it seems, Ezra delighted in, and desired no other; no, not when he was advanced to the proconsular dignity, and made the governor of a province. He reckoned it more to his honour to be a scribe of God's law than to be a peer or prince of the empire.
