What does the Bible say about Ezra as a priest of God?

Answered in 1 source

Ezra is described as a ready scribe in the law of Moses and a direct descendant of Aaron.

Ezra, as detailed in Ezra chapter seven, is depicted as a priest and a scribe who was a descendant of Aaron, the original priest. He is characterized as a ready scribe in the law of Moses, meaning he was well-versed in God's law and dedicated to teaching it to others. This illustrates not only his commitment to the Word of God but also reflects the ongoing priestly lineage that leads to Christ, our great high priest, who fulfills and surpasses the role of the Levitical priests by being a priest forever after the order of Melchizedek.
