The judicial authority—'And thou, Ezra, after the wisdom of thy God, that is in thine hand, set magistrates and judges, which may judge all the people that are beyond the river'—grants legal authority to establish courts. The phrase 'wisdom of thy God' refers to Torah as divine law code. Ezra could appoint judges applying biblical law to covenant community.
