“And they sang together by course in praising and giving thanks unto the LORD (the Father’s Word – YHWH ); because he is good, for his mercy endureth for ever toward Israel. And all the people shouted with a great shout, when they praised the LORD (the Word of Elohim – YHWH), because the foundation of the house of the LORD (the Word of Elohim – YHWH) was laid.”

And so Ezra read the Word of Elohim to the people and they rejoiced!!!! – this, 70 years after having fallen to the enemy – Babylon (the nations), that once they lost everything they would have nothing left but the Word, and so they turned to it. That Elohim’s manifested self, His Word, would again prove His grace is – an outreached hand; a Word (to be a Father one must communicate with their child). The example of the obedient child always seen in the prophets, men and women that were given wholly to His Will (Word) and not theirs: Israel and the nations had turned from obedience, away from our Father’s Word, indeed from YHWH.

Paraphrasing the perfect example of an obedient child, (YH)shua (YH’s salvation) , “May (YH)WH’s Will (Word) be done on earth (in us) as it is in heaven. Amein.
