以斯拉记7：1
以斯拉源自希伯来文，意思为“帮助、救助”。在旧约圣经里，以斯拉先知也被称为文士、牧师、教授上帝律法的教师。他埋首研讀耶和华的律法，并在以色列教导上帝的旨意与律法。以斯拉写成了《以斯拉记》，他的故事也出现在旧约圣经的《尼希米记》。 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.
