In Ezram et Neemiam libri III (725 - 731) Bede |
| Quotation |
In secundo anabathmon, hoc est ascensuum, eorundem psalmo exclamat cunctis ad summa
tendentibus quo duce tendere ac peruenire debeant insinuans: auxilium meum a domino qui fecit
caelum et terram.
Cuius etiam in actibus suis figuram ezras tenuit cum et ipse partem populi non minimam de
captiuitate hierosolimam reduxit simul et pecuniam ac uasa deo sacrata in gloriam templi eius aduexit
cum eundem populum ab uxoribus alienigenis pontificali auctoritate purgauit. |
| Translation |
In the second psalm of the same anabathmoi (i.e. of ‘the Ascents’), the psalmist proclaims to all those who strive for the highest under whose leadership they ought to strive to attain it when he suggests: My help is from the Lord who made heaven and earth.6In his actions too Ezra was a figure of the Lord,since Ezra himself led back no small portion of the people from the captivity to Jerusalem and at the same time conveyed money and vessels consecrated to God for the glory of his temple and when through his pontifical authority7he purged these people of their foreign wives. (Trans. DeGregorio, pp. 113-14) |
