Question
The Ethiopian Orthodox Church equates this figure with Shealtiel (“shuh-ALL-tee-ell”) in a dubiously-canonical apocalyptic book. The Marsh Arabs go on pilgrimage to this figure’s tomb in Iraq’s Maysan (“may-SAHN”) province. Surah At-Tawbah verse 30 states that the Jews called this figure the son of god. This figure is traditionally considered the author of First and Second Chronicles. This figure was promised unlimited salt, 100 talents of silver, and 100 baths of wine in a letter from King Artaxerxes. This man ordered all Jewish men to send away their foreign wives. In this figure’s namesake book of the Tanakh, Cyrus allows the Jews to return from Babylon and rebuild the temple. For 10 points, name this prophet called “the scribe,” whose namesake book is commonly paired with Nehemiah. ■END■
