Talmud su Esdra 7:78

HALAKHAH: “Ten marriage classes returned from Babylonia,” etc. Priests, Levites, and Israel, as described⁶Ezra 7:7.: “There came of the Children of Israel, and of the priests, the Levites, both the servants⁷This is clearly a copyist’s error; it must read “singers” as in the masoretic text. Even at the end of the Second Temple period, levitic singers and doorkeepers formed two clearly identified classes in the Temple service. All the distinctions in marriage classes here are clearly attributed to Ezra, not to the early returnees under Sheshbazzar and Zerubabel. and the doorkeepers, and the Temple slaves, to Jerusalem in the seventh year of king Artaxerxes.⁸This quote seems to be missing in G.”

Rebbi Aḥa said, for Ezra the priest, the counter²⁰Ezra7:11.. But just as he was counting in the Torah so he was counting in the words of the Sages²¹The principles of mesorah, to fix the text of Scriptures by noting the number of occurrences of certain forms, is attributed to Ezra in Megillah4:1 (47d l. 49), Babli Megillah3a. Similarly, the fixation of mishnaiot by numbers is attributed to him..

Make your Torah study a fixed practice. How so? This teaches us that if a person hears advice from the mouth of a sage in the study hall, he should not make it an occasional practice but a fixed practice. What a person learns, he should do, and then teach others, and they should do, as it says (Deuteronomy 5:1), “Learn them, and take care to do them.” And also in Ezra it says (7:10), “For Ezra had prepared his heart to seek the Torah of the Eternal and to do it.” And after that, it says, “and to teach Israel rules and laws.”
