Ezra 8
A chapter in the Book of Ezra / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ezra 8 is the eighth chapter of the Book of Ezra in the Old Testament of the Christian Bible,[1] or the book of Ezra-Nehemiah in the Hebrew Bible, which treats the book of Ezra and book of Nehemiah as one book.[2] Jewish tradition states that Ezra is the author of Ezra-Nehemiah as well as the Book of Chronicles,[3] but modern scholars generally accept that a compiler from the 5th century BCE (the so-called "Chronicler") is the final author of these books.[4] The section comprising chapters 7 to 10 mainly describes of activities of Ezra the scribe and the priest.[5] This chapter follows Ezra's journey to Jerusalem and includes a genealogy of those returning with him (parallel to chapter 2).[5]
