Scribes
(Greek grammateis, nomodidaschaloi, teachers of the law).
In the New-Testament period the scratch awls were the professional interpreters of the Law in the Jewish synagogues. The rakehell of the profession dates from the return of the Captivity, and its subsequent growth and importance resulted course from the formal and legalistic trend of Jewish piety during the post-Exilic period. The Law was hero-worship as the precise expression of Gods will, and by its multifarious prescriptions the free-and-easy life of every pious Jew was regulated in solely its minute details. Love of the Law was the essence of piety, and the just or righteous were they who walked in all the commandments and justifications of the Lord without blame (Luke, I, 6). merely as these commandments and justifications were exceedingly numerous, complicated, and often obscure, the needs of popular direction called into existence a split up of men whose special pedigree was to study and expound the Law. The earliest mention of the title occurs in I Esdras, vii, 6, where Esdras is described as a ready scribe in the law of Moses. What this meant is set forth in versify 10: For Esdras had prepared his heart to teach in Israel the commandments and perspicacity. This description doubtless applies to the subsequent scribes of that period. They were pious men who through with(predicate) love of the Divine law occupied themselves in collecting, editing, and analyse the sacred literature of the Hebrews and in explaining it to the people.
The earlier scribes, like Esdras himself, belonged to the class of priests and Levites (I Esdr., vii, 12; II Esdr., viii, 7, 13; II Par., xxxiv, 13) who were originally the decreed interpreters of the Law, but unlike other priestly duties, the study and explanation of Holy Writ could be engaged in by pious laymen,
A few fragmented sentences, but not more compared to the size of this paper. This does not seem like 7th rack up work, but I am trusting this is yours, and for the level it was pen at it is really great. Good job, and good research.
