Comment and Bu&geatlve Thought V. SI. "I." Ezra. -Proclaimed • tail." Pasting, as a rellgloua aervloe accumpahylng prayer, a as much pracuced by Ut# Jew*, and by Chrtaitana of earlier Umea. "Afflict ouraelvea befo.-e God.” Better, “humble ouraelvea." With loving consecration, they humbly besought God to guide them through the trackless desert, protect them and their treasure. "A right way." Ezra relied upon God to guide them In the most direct road, and where they would be least exposed to attacks 'rom. robbers. “Substance." Good* of every

sort.

V. 32. "Ashamed to require, a band of soldiers.” Ezra bad publicly spoken of his confidence in God and to aak for an armed guard, such as commonly accompanied caravan*, might cause these heathen friend* to doubt God * ability to help hi* people, or to question whether Ezra spoke truly when he told of reliance upon hi* God. "The enemy.” Horde* of Bedouin* Infested the desert, and often robbed caravans. “The hand of our God.” etc. Ezra always recognized that God'* band guides the attain, of men. working thereby all good for those who lore him and yield themselves to his guidance (Ezra 7:6. 8:22. Jl). •tAgaln*| . . . fotwake Him." The very wheel which bean onward tbet which commits Itself to go with It. crushes whatever opposes or stands In it* way; ao one who goes with God comes Into all good: one who goes against Him. Into disaster and destruction. V. *3. "He was intreated." Through their praying and fasting. God had brought them into such position that He could do His best for them. V. li. "Separated." Or. jjSet Apart.’* These men were chosen by name and consecrated to this particular service. It would not be amis* to-day to consecrate by special prayer all who have charge of church money. "Twelve . . . priests . . . brethren." This probably means that 12 priests and 12 Icvltes "were appointed (See T. >0). • V:' 26. --Weighed unto." Coined money was used in that day. but the precious metal entrusted to Ezra was chiefly in barm or Ingots. One cannot be too careful In caring for public funds. "The offering." Jew* were highly esteemed by King Artazerzez: be counted greatly upon their prayers offered on his behalf according to the injunctions of their prophet (Jer. 29:7) and he furthered their expedition by gifts for enriching the temple at Jerusalem (Ezra 7:16, 17). Ezre recog nixed the band of God working alsc upon the kings heart (7:27). V. 26. “Six hundred and fifty talent* of silver." In value about 61.250.000. or. If the lighter standard of weight was ueefo about one-half that amount "Gold. Tin hundred talents." Worth about 94-.OOO.OOO or f2.000.000. V. 27. “Drams.” Darlcs; Persian coins, worth each about five dollars "Fine copper.” Or "bright brass." Be Ing rarely produced, this was very highly valued. V. 21 "Holy!”. The gift consecrated to God was entrusted to men specially set apart to God's service. V. 29. "Watch ye.” Vigilance and wakefulneas would be required; possibly also they might have to protect their treasure by great exertion or per •oh*l sacrifice. "Until ye weigh them.' Until yon deliver them Intact to the authorities n Jerusalem v. Ml "Took the priest* abd LeTltea." Jkey accepted the trust imposed upon them, realizing It* impor taaos, reckoning themselves accountable for It to Qod. and tally aware ol the danger* they might meet It. 23). v. 31. "Departed." They set out about the time of the Passover, out Easter, “the twelfth of the Aral month." and. Journeying slowly on account of the old and the little ones, and halting frequently for several days ol rest, they reached Jerusalem on th< first day of the fifth month (Ezra 7:9) having spent three months and a hall atnee leaving Aha vs. V. 32.
