Persian satrapies

Accurate or not Aramaic portion of the book of Ezra seems to indicate Ezra had been selected by by a Persian king to rule as a "Minister of Justice" (satrap) in the entire region of "trans- Euphrates". Obviously this did not work out. Hammondwest (talk) 04:16, 26 January 2022 (UTC)

Persian satrapies

It does appear Ezra wielded tremendous secular power with all the divorces ordered in the biblical account. Hammondwest (talk) 04:41, 26 January 2022 (UTC)

chapter 7 genealogy

it's worth mentioning the genealogy of Ezra to Aaron difficult to exaggerate the importance of detailed genealogies even when critiquing them. Hammondwest (talk) 06:18, 29 January 2022 (UTC)

Ark of the covenant

if Ezra was reported by Artaxerxes to have the law of God "in his hands" could this have been the Ten Commandments? Clearly the Persians we're smart enough not to allow the Ark to return to Judah but they let many other temple relics return. Hammondwest (talk) 06:24, 29 January 2022 (UTC)
