He is an Aaronic priest, an expert copyist and teacher of the Law, skilled in both Hebrew and Aramaic. He had a genuine zeal for pure worship and prepared his heart to consult the law of Jehovah and to do it and to teach in Israel regulation and justice.

He is known for being a Jewish sage, kohen, and leader, in the rebuilding of the Temple in Jerusalem (some 2500 years ago), and leading Babylonian Jewish exiles back to Judea. He was also one of the Men of the Great Assembly who sealed the canon of the Hebrew Bible and composed the prayers, blessings and Rabbinical Decrees.
