Text Appearing Before Image:
d to find that many Jews had marriedheathen wives, but he soon brought them backto the observance of the Mosaic law. Thir-teen years later, when Nehemiah came toJerusalem, Ezra took a leading part in readingthe law of Moses to the colony and did muchimportant work in preserving and circulatingthe sacred books. He marks a transition fromthe prophets to the scribes, and was, in a sense,the forerunner of the rabbis who played soimportant a part in the later Jewish life andreligion. Some Bible students believe thatEzra was the author of the Pentateuch, but theevidence is inconclusive. The Book of Ezra once included the book ofNehemiah, but it is now a separate book ofthe Old Testament. It is filled with publicrecords and documents which were copies ofletters sent to Persian kings by officials of hisprovinces. There are two parts to the book;the first deals with the return of the Jewsto Babylon in 538 B.C.; the second tells howEzra led the exiles home eighty years later. THS ORGANKNOWLEDGE
Text Appearing After Image:
STORYAND PICTURE ^ ^ i* F. Exactly how the sixth letter of our alpha-B ^ ^^ bet developed from the bent nail vau, which held1^1 the same place in the Phoenician alphabet, no one.^L. .A- knows. The Greek gamma (p, y) was doubtless I the same character, though pronounced differ-ently, and the ancient Greek digamma, or doublegammn, was written F, but was probably sounded like our w. Strangely enough, ournumeral 6 is a survival of digamma.In music F is the fourth note inthe natural scale of C.
