Ezra & Nehemiah

BIBLE EXPLORE / OLD TESTAMENT / EZRA & NEHEMIAH

Book of Ezra & Nehemiah


The Book of Ezra is a book in the Old Testament, that used to be included in the book of Nehemiah. The two became separate in the beginning of the C16th. The first part of Ezra tells the story of the first return of exiles and the completion of the dedication of the new Temple, with the second part telling of the mission of Ezra to Jerusalem and his struggle with Jews marrying non-Jews. Together with Nehemiah, it tells the final chapter of the historical narrative of the Hebrew Bible.
