以斯拉記7：1
以斯拉源自希伯來文，意思為“幫助、救助”。在舊約聖經裡，以斯拉先知也被稱為文士、牧師、教授上帝律法的教師。他埋首研讀耶和華的律法，並在以色列教導上帝的旨意與律法。以斯拉寫成了《以斯拉記》，他的故事也出現在舊約聖經的《尼希米記》。 It is of Hebrew origin which carries the meaning of “help” or “aid”. In the Old Testament, Ezra was a prophet and also called a scribe, a priest and a teacher of the Law of God. He devoted himself to the study and observance of the Law of the Lord and to teaching its decrees and laws in Israel.
