Transcription: The central image of this chapter, a lone figure atop a wooden platform reading from a scroll, came to symbolize the Jewish race. They were becoming people of the book. The Jews had not regained the territory and splendor their nation once enjoyed under David and Solomon. The temple they had painstakingly constructed would eventually fall to looters just like the one it replaced. But they would never forget the lesson of Ezra. He became the prototype for a new leader of the Jews. The Scribe, a student of Scripture.
