Ezra 7:6
skilled <04106> [a ready.]
{Sopher mahir} does not merely signify a speedy writer, or an excellent penman, but one eminently skilful in expounding the law, {sophro chochmo,} "a wise scribe," as the Syriac renders.
scribe <05608> [scribe.]
law <08451> [the law.]
given ......... requested <05414 01246> [granted him.]
hand <03027> [according to.]
Ezra 7:27
Blessed <01288> [Blessed.]
There is a most amiable spirit of piety in these reflections. Instead of expatiating on the praises of his munificent patron, or boasting of his own services, he blesses God for "putting such a thing in the king's heart;" and for all the assistance and favour shown him by the king and his counsellors.
so ........ king <05414 04428> [put such.]
heart .... king <03820 04428> [in the king's heart.]
honor <06286> [to beautify.]
