Leah FeinbergHOST
and he lived there to a ripe old age, into the early years of Bayecheni, of the second temple.
Leah FeinbergHOST
The Midrash asks why Ezra had not gone up to Eretz Israel earlier, as soon as permission was granted by Koresh, and answers that he didn't want to leave his teacher, Baruch Ben-Neriah, who was too old and infirm to make the journey.
Leah FeinbergHOST
And the site of the cover of Baruch Ben-Neriah in Bavel was known to the Gaonim and even some early Rishonim, but is not known to us today.
Leah FeinbergHOST
But what's revealed in today's parakh is that Baruch was the link in the Masorah between the era of the Nevi'im and the Anshei Knesset Hagdolah.
Leah FeinbergHOST
He marks the transition from the Nevu'ah of his teacher, Yirmiyahu, which he merited to record but not experience personally, and Chochma, which would be the hallmark of leaders of future generations, beginning with Ezra and the Anshik Neset Hagdola.

For example, some people believe that Malaka was written by an angel, you know, because the name means messenger or angel.
speaker_3HOST
Others say that Ezra or maybe Nehemiah wrote it and chose the name to conceal the identity.
speaker_3HOST
Still, others say that because of how it is translated in the Septuagint, that is the Greek translation of the Old Testament, it is less of a personal name and more of a title, sort of like the title for the ideal messenger of God.
speaker_3HOST
However, I think that there are good reasons to believe that this is the actual name of an actual person and not the name of an angel, not a secret nickname, and not a title.

speaker_3HOST
But they did not want the duty that came with it.
speaker_3HOST
And so that's why they ask, how have we profaned your name? So were they really ignorant of the law that they thought there was no harm in their actions or were they so unobservant of themselves? I don't think that they were ignorant of the law and I don't think that they couldn't see the harm in what they were doing.
speaker_3HOST
For example, when you read the book of Ezra, This is what the Bible says about the man Ezra.
speaker_3HOST

McCarley ZellickHOST
Another reason that people fasted and we should is that they were seeking God's protection or deliverance.
McCarley ZellickHOST
One beautiful example is in Ezra 8, 21 through 23, where Ezra proclaimed a fast as the people humbled themselves and sought God's protection for their journey.
McCarley ZellickHOST
Another biblical reason for fasting is expressing repentance and returning to God.
McCarley ZellickHOST
Joel 2.12 says, And so notice that the fast wasn't the repentance.
