Ezra 7:23 meaning and explanation
Whatever is commanded by the God of heaven must be done diligently for His house. For why should wrath fall on the realm of the king and his sons?
Ezra 7:23, Berean Standard Bible
Explanation preview
These words come from the letter of Artaxerxes, king of Persia, to Ezra, a Jewish priest and scribe sent to Jerusalem to oversee the temple (Ezra 7:11-26). The king is no worshiper of Israel's God, yet he insists that whatever the God of heaven commands be carried out promptly for His house, fearing that neglect could bring wrath on his realm and sons.
