In the Aramaic sections of Ezra, the name Israel (Yisra'el) designates the post-exilic Jewish community rebuilding their identity under Persian rule. It appears in official Aramaic correspondence and royal decrees — 'the God of Israel' (Ezra 5:1; 6:14; 7:15), 'the king of Israel' (5:11), 'the children of Israel' (6:16), and 'the people of Israel' (7:13). Though this is the same name given to Jacob and borne by the nation throughout Scripture, its Aramaic form in these administrative contexts highlights how Israel's covenant identity persisted even in the language of empire. Spanish preserves 'Israel' unchanged, while German adds the preposition 'zu-Israel' in dative constructions.
