Saint Jerome in Prayer (1655) Carlo Dolci (1616-1686) Baroque Style Private Collection Image Source: Web Gallery of Art [ Illustration: In today's painting we see various similarities between Jerome and Nehemiah. Both are men of prayer, symbolized by Jerome's posture of prayer. Both are saintly men, symbolized by the halo. Both attended to the Word of God, symbolized by the book. Both were writers, symbolized by the quill and ink pot. And both were concerned with death and destruction, symbolized by the skull. But Nehemiah, in contrast to Jerome who was a recluse, served in the royal court. ] SPECIAL NOTE: [ I will again be working through the Scriptures from Genesis to Revelation. I will be adding links, resources, images, and the like, upgrading the former work-through which began with the 2013-10-12 posting which can be found, along with the full Genesis to Revelation postings, in the Archive Page. Postings will be at midnight Eastern Time, as I am able. However, no chapters will be skipped, even though a posting may be late. And all postings will be housed in the Archive Page. ] Explanation: Ezra 10 contains a prayer by Nehemiah confessing sin and requesting God's covenant mercy for the nation of Israel. Hanani and his companions from Judah visited Nehemiah (445-425 B.C.), the king's cupbearer, in Shushan, which was the winter residence of the Persian kings. They described the affliction and reproach which his fellow Jews were suffering and the ruined state of Jerusalem (1-3). This report distressed Nehemiah and drove him to weeping, mourning, fasting, and praying. He confessed his sins, his family's sins, and the sins of the Israelites. He asked God to remember his covenant promise to bring Israel back from captivity if they would repent and become obedient. And, in anticipation of speaking to King Artaxerxes I Longimanus (465-424 B.C.) about his concern, Nehemiah asked the LORD to give him mercy in the sight of the King (4-11). NOTE: Nehemiah (served 445-425 B.C.) was contemporary with the following Biblical persons: Joel (580-450 B.C. -- if this late date applies, rather than a date in the 9th century B.C.); Haggai (520 B.C.); Zechariah (520-518 B.C.); Esther (483-473 B.C.); Ezra (538-456 B.C.).

However, some providers use liberal or liberal-influenced commentaries such as the Cambridge Bible for Schools and Colleges (in Bible Hub). Such commentaries are undoubtedly included by the provider for the wealth of useful information and comments which they provide. By consulting several commentaries, it should be fairly easy to sort out the wheat from the chaff. If, however, you would like personal assistance, write to me at AD LIB ARTS EMAIL.
