Help
Strong's #H5830, #H5834
There are two Ezras mentioned in Scripture. The first, mentioned only in 1Chronicles 4:17, has his name derived from a different Hebrew word (#H5830) than the more well known Ezra of the Bible.
The other Ezra, who authored the Biblical book of the same name, was a priest who led the effort to collect and canonize the writings that would become the Old Testament.
