See II Chr 12:14; 19:3; 30:19, for similar expressions [Wycliffe 
Bible Commentary] 

Ezra was a consecrated man. The aim and ambition of his life was 
to know the will of God, to cooperate with God, and to teach others 
to do likewise. This was the man God now called to do a special 
work. [SDA Commentary] 

Ezra was inwardly determined. His determination was directed 
toward doing three things: studying God's Law, obeying it, and teaching 
it to others--an inviolable order for a successful ministry! [Bible 
Knowledge Commentary] 

The order is significant. A person cannot practice what he has 
not thoroughly studied; and he should not teach principles he has 
not carefully applied. [New Bible Companion] 

In medical school during a rotation on surgery learning to do 
appendectomies we were taught "see one, do one, teach one" i.e. when you have 
been shown an appendectomy you do the next one and then after that 
teach the procedure to another.  I wonder if this concept developed 
from this or a related passage of Scripture.  They do have remarkable 
similarities.
