Commentary on Ezra 7:11

The description 'this is the copy of the letter that the king Artaxerxes gave unto Ezra the priest, the scribe'—combines priestly and scribal identities. As priest, Ezra could offer sacrifices; as scribe, he could teach Torah. The following letter (vv. 12-26) in Aramaic shows official administrative language, enhancing historical credibility. Royal authorization gave Ezra both resources and authority for his teaching mission. God provided not just permission but comprehensive support.
