TSNTyndale Study Notes:

7:6 Ezra came from Babylon, where there was still a substantial and prosperous Jewish community.
• The Hebrew term translated scribe is sometimes translated as “secretary.” It describes an educated and reliable individual who transcribed and interpreted official documents. Accordingly, many scholars think that Ezra functioned like a “Secretary of State for Jewish Affairs” in the Persian government. Here, however, the emphasis is on his scribal role of studying and teaching from the five Books of Moses.


UTNuW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

ה֤וּא עֶזְרָא֙ עָלָ֣ה מִ⁠בָּבֶ֔ל

he/it ˊEzrāʼ went_up from,Babylon

The book says that Ezra went up because he needed to travel from a river valley up into the mountains in order to go from exile in Babylon to Jerusalem. Alternate translation: “this Ezra went from Babylon to Jerusalem”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / go

ה֤וּא עֶזְרָא֙ עָלָ֣ה מִ⁠בָּבֶ֔ל

he/it ˊEzrāʼ went_up from,Babylon

If it is more natural in your language, you can say “came” instead of went. Alternate translation: “this Ezra came from Babylon to Jerusalem”

Note 3 topic: writing-background

וְ⁠הֽוּא־סֹפֵ֤ר מָהִיר֙ בְּ⁠תוֹרַ֣ת מֹשֶׁ֔ה אֲשֶׁר־נָתַ֥ן יְהוָ֖ה אֱלֹהֵ֣י יִשְׂרָאֵ֑ל

and=he scribe skilled in/on/at/with,law Mosheh which/who he/it_gave YHWH god Yisrael

This is background information that helps identify Ezra further. Alternate translation: “and he had carefully studied the law that Yahweh, the God of Israel, had given through Moses”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

וַ⁠יִּתֶּן־ל֣⁠וֹ הַ⁠מֶּ֗לֶךְ כְּ⁠יַד־יְהוָ֤ה אֱלֹהָי⁠ו֙ עָלָ֔י⁠ו כֹּ֖ל בַּקָּשָׁתֽ⁠וֹ

and,granted to=him/it the=king for,hand YHWH his/its=god on/upon/above=him/it all asked,he

Here, hand represents action, and in this context the expression the hand of Yahweh his God upon him indicates that Ezra enjoyed Yahweh’s care, protection, and favor. (The expression has a similar sense to the one in 5:5, the eye of God was on the elders of the Jews.) Alternate translations: “And King Artaxerxes gave Ezra everything he asked for because Yahweh, his God, was helping him” or “And King Artaxerxes gave Ezra everything he asked for because Yahweh, his God, was showing him favor”
