the hand of the LORD
Ezra 7:6
7:6 the hand of the LORD. A variation of the striking clause, “the hand of the LORD his God upon him,” occurs six times in Ezra (7:6,9,28; 8:18,22,31) and twice in Nehemiah (2:8,18). Both writers emphasize that their own remarkable accomplishments were by the protecting and enabling grace of God.
