Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Ezra 7:1

COM commentary-section · status:draft · license:PD

1, 2. in the reign of Artaxerxes —the Ahasuerus of Esther. Ezra the son of Seraiah —that is, grandson or great-grandson. Seraiah was the high priest put to death by Nebuchadnezzar at Riblah ( :- ). A period of one hundred thirty years had elapsed between that catastrophe and the journey of Ezra to Jerusalem. As a grandson of Seraiah, namely, Jeshua, who held the office of high priest, had accompanied Zerubbabel in the first caravan of returning exiles, Ezra must have been in all probability a grandson, descended, too, from a younger son, the older branch being in possession of the pontificate. return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verse-6" class="com-number"
