4 Son of Zerahiah, son of Uzzi, son of Bukki,

5 Son of Abishua, son of Phinehas, son of Eleazar, son of Aaron the head priest:

6 This Ezra went up from Babel; and he a scribe skilled in the law of Moses which Jehovah God of Israel gave: and the king will give to him according to the hand of Jehovah upon him all his seeking.

7 And there will go up from the sons of Israel, and from the priests and the Levites, and those singing, and they watching the gates, and the Nethinims, to Jerusalem, in the seventh year to Arthasatha the king.

8 And he will come to Jerusalem in the fifth month, this the seventh year to the king.
