This Ezra went up from Babylon; and he [was] a ready (c) 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.
(c) He shows here what a scribe is, who had charge to write the law and to expound it. Whom Mark calls a scribe, (Mark 12:28), Matthew and Luke called a lawyer or doctor of the law, (Matthew 22:35; Luke 10:25).
