A Heart for God's Law

Name Date

Read the Story

Years after the temple was finished, a priest named Ezra went up from Babylon. He was a skilled scribe in the law of Moses. The king gave him all he asked, because the hand of Yahweh his God was on him.

Ezra traveled for about four months to reach Jerusalem. Ezra had set his heart to seek Yahweh's law, to do it, and to teach its statutes in Israel.

King Artaxerxes gave Ezra a letter. Any of God's people could go with him. The king sent silver and gold for God's house. He told Ezra to choose judges who knew God's law and to teach those who did not know it. Ezra blessed Yahweh, who had put this in the king's heart.

Ezra 7 · Grade 4

Seek, Do, and Teach

Name Date

Read and Think

Now Ezra comes into the story. The temple had been done for about sixty years. He was a priest whose family line went back to Aaron, and he was a scribe skilled in the law of Moses. In the king's seventh year, Ezra led a group from Babylon to Jerusalem. The trip took about four months.

Here is the key to Ezra's life. He set his heart to seek God's law, to do it, and to teach it. Study, obedience, and teaching went together, in that order.

King Artaxerxes wrote a letter. It let any of God's people go with Ezra. He gave silver and gold for gifts to God. He told his men to give Ezra what he needed. He freed temple workers from taxes and told Ezra to appoint judges and teach God's law. Ezra responded with praise, saying that Yahweh had put this in the king's heart and had extended loving kindness to him.

Ezra 7 · Grade 5

The Good Hand of God

Name Date

Read and Think

Ezra 7 introduces the man for whom the book is named. His genealogy runs back through Zadok and Phinehas to Aaron the chief priest, placing him firmly in Israel's priestly line. He was also a scribe, a careful student and copier of the law of Moses. Ezra repeatedly says the good hand of his God was on him.

Verse 10 is the heart of the chapter: Ezra had set his heart to seek Yahweh's law, to do it, and to teach statutes and ordinances in Israel. The order matters. Ezra did not teach what he had not first studied and practiced. In the New Testament, Paul writes that every Scripture is God-breathed and profitable for teaching (2 Timothy 3:16).

The letter of Artaxerxes, written in Aramaic, gave Ezra remarkable support: permission for volunteers to return, gifts from the king and his counselors, supplies from the royal treasurers, tax relief for temple servants, and authority to appoint magistrates who knew God's law. Ezra's response turned from the king to God. He blessed Yahweh, the God of the fathers, who had put such a thing in the king's heart, and he took courage because the hand of Yahweh his God was on him.

  5. What gave Ezra courage?
