Ezra 7:2-7

2who was the son of Shallum, who was the son of Zadok, who was the son of Ahitub,

3who was the son of Amariah, who was the son of Azariah, who was the son of Meraioth,

4who was the son of Zerahiah, who was the son of Uzzi, who was the son of Bukki,

5who was the son of Abishua, who was the son of Phinehas, who was the son of Eleazer, who was the son of Aaron (the first priest).

6As a scribe, Ezra was an expert in Moses’ Teachings, which the Lord God of Israel had given. The king gave Ezra everything he requested because the Lord his God was guiding him.

7Some Israelites (including priests, Levites, singers, gatekeepers, and temple servants) went to Jerusalem in Artaxerxes’ seventh year as king.
