Other than the reference in Ezra 7:1 to Ezra, has this name been mentioned earlier?
To what biblical personality does the volume ascribe Ezra’s origin?
What was Ezra’s profession or “calling”? Does the text specify what the request of Ezra was — and which was readily granted by the king?
Is the “going up” of Ezra the same going up that was related in Ezra 1-6 or is this a “second return”? Does the text specify?
What does the letter of Artarxerxes authorize Ezra to do?
According to Ezra 7:25 what political authority is given to Ezra?
Who is the author of Ezra 7:27-28? Is the “me” and “I” Ezra?
