I. INTRODUCTIONTO THE BOOK OF EZRA
AUTHOR: Ezra DATE: 456-444 B.C.
Title and Authorship The book, named after this principal character, originally formed one work with the books of Nehemiah and Chronicles. Although Ezra is not mentioned in the book as its author, he most likely did write the book using various documents (e.g., 4:7-16), genealogies (e.g., 2:1-70), and personal memoirs (e.g., 7:27-9:15) as his sources. In the Vulgate (Latin Bible,), Ezra and Nehemiah are titled 1 and 2 Esdras, while the apocryphal book called 1 Esdras in the English text is 3 Esdras in the Vulgate.
Date Although some date the book around 330 B.C., its linguistic similarities with the fifth century Aramaic papyri from the Jewish community at Elephantine, Egypt, argue for an earlier date during the lifetime of Ezra (who lived to the time of Nehemiah, Neh. 8:1-9; 12:36). Ezra probably finished the book between 456 (when the events of 10:17-44 took place) and 444, when Nehemiah arrived in Jerusalem.
Historical Backgraound The book records the fulfillment of God’s promise to restore Israel to her land after the seventy years of captivity in Babylon (Jer. 25:11). This was accomplished through the help of three Persian Kings (Cyrus, Darius, and Artaxerxes) as well as Jewish leaders such as Zerubbabel, Joshua, Haggai, Zechariah, and Ezra. Cyrus overthrew Babylon in October 539, and in accord with his policy of encouraging subject people to return to their homelands, he issued a decree in 538 allowing the Jews to do the same (see Introduction to Zechariah). About fifty thousand did return under the leadership of
Zerubbabel, and the foundation of the Temple was laid, though it was not completed until 515 in the reign of Darius. Ezra 1-6 describe these events. Chapters 7-10 describe Ezra’s return to Jerusalem under the favor of Artaxerxes to help bring spiritual revival to the people.
The Persian kings involved in this period (in relation to Ezra and other portions of the O.T.) are as follows:
