Ezra 7:6-10
Ezra ascended from Babylon as a skilled scribe in the Torah of Moses given by God of Israel, and the king granted all his requests through God's favor, because Ezra had devoted himself to study the Teaching of God, observe it, and teach laws and rules to Israel.
ה֤וּא עֶזְרָא֙ עָלָ֣ה מִבָּבֶ֔ל וְהֽוּא־סֹפֵ֤ר מָהִיר֙ בְּתוֹרַ֣ת מֹשֶׁ֔ה אֲשֶׁר־נָתַ֥ן יְהֹוָ֖ה אֱלֹהֵ֣י יִשְׂרָאֵ֑ל וַיִּתֶּן־ל֣וֹ הַמֶּ֗לֶךְ כְּיַד־יְהֹוָ֤ה אֱלֹהָיו֙ עָלָ֔יו כֹּ֖ל בַּקָּשָׁתֽוֹ׃ {פ} כִּ֤י עֶזְרָא֙ הֵכִ֣ין לְבָב֔וֹ לִדְרֹ֛שׁ אֶת־תּוֹרַ֥ת יְהֹוָ֖ה וְלַעֲשֹׂ֑ת וּלְלַמֵּ֥ד בְּיִשְׂרָאֵ֖ל חֹ֥ק וּמִשְׁפָּֽט׃ {ס}
that Ezra came up from Babylon, a scribe expert in the Teaching of Moses that the ETERNAL God of Israel had given, whose request the king had granted in its entirety, thanks to the benevolence of GOD toward him. For Ezra had dedicated himself to study the Teaching of GOD so as to observe it, and to teach laws and rules to Israel.
