Commentary on Ezra 7:12
The letter begins 'Artaxerxes, king of kings, unto Ezra the priest, a scribe of the law of the God of heaven, perfect peace, and at such a time.' The title 'king of kings' asserts Persian imperial supremacy. Addressing Ezra as 'scribe of the law of the God of heaven' shows royal recognition of his religious authority. The greeting 'perfect peace' (gemar in Aramaic) expresses complete well-being. This pagan king's respectful address to God's servant demonstrates providential favor.
