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.]
Jeremiah 8:8
wise <02450> [We.]
law <08451> [the law.]
<0403> [Lo.]
not really mean <08267> [in vain, etc. or, the false pen of the scribes worketh for falsehood.]
Matthew 26:3
met together <4863> [assembled.]
palace <833> [the palace.]
Caiaphas <2533> [Caiaphas.]
This was Joseph, surnamed Caiaphas, who succeeded Simon son of Camith, in the high-priesthood, about A.D. 25. About two years after our Lord's death, he was deposed by Vitellius governor of Syria; and unable to bear his disgrace, and perhaps the stings of conscience for the murder of Christ, he killed himself about A.D. 35.
