Exile? What Exile?
View through CrossRef
Abstract
This chapter provides an overview of 1 Esdras (also called 3 Ezra), which is the Old Testament in the Eastern Orthodox tradition, but not in the Catholic or Protestant Bible. The book, likely written in the second century bce, offers a version of how Judah established its society after the Babylonian exile. The chapter suggests that 3 Ezra reworks a now lost, older text that must have been similar to the books of Ezra and Nehemiah. 1 Esdras presents post-exilic Judah as restoring an ideal level of piety that was achieved under King Josiah before the exile. The book emphasizes the accomplishments of Zerubbabel and Ezra in a way that erases the historical significance of the exile and the destruction of the temple.
