כִּ֤י עֶזְרָא֙ הֵכִ֣ין לְבָב֔וֹ לִדְר֛וֹשׁ אֶת־תּוֹרַ֥ת יְהוָ֖ה וְלַעֲשֹׂ֑ת וּלְלַמֵּ֥ד בְּיִשְׂרָאֵ֖ל חֹ֥ק וּמִשְׁפָּֽט׃ (ס)
Ибо Ездра посвятил свое сердце тому, чтобы искать закон Господа и выполнять его, а также учить в Израиле законам и таинствам.
Tosefta Ta'anit
Why did they see fit to specify the times for the wood offering of the Priests and the people (Taan. 4:5)? [They said,] when the returning exiles did not find wood in the [Temple] chamber, those [families] stood up and were generous with their own wood, and handed it over to the public, and thus the prophets were generous with them, such that even if the [Temple] chamber is filled with wood, and even if [there is sufficient] wood from the public, that those [families may continue to] stand up and be generous with their own wood. There should not be a sacrifice that is offered up, except if [the wood pile] started with their wood, as it is said (Neh. 10:35), "We have cast lots to bring the wood offering, etc.," and it says (Ezra 7:10), "For Ezra had prepared his heart [to expound upon the Torah of God, etc.]."
