jan 1, 460 BC - Ezra
Description:
Writer(s): Ezra
Place Written: Jerusalem
Writing Completed: c. 460 B.C.E.
Time Covered: 537-c. 467 B.C.E.
A record showing how Jehovah fulfilled his promise to restore Israel from exile in Babylon and reestablish true worship in Jerusalem. Included are the imperial orders to restore Jehovah's worship among the Jews after the 70-year desolation of Jerusalem and the account of the work done, despite obstacles, to achieve this. Ezra stuck closely to the above purpose throughout the book. This is apparently the reason for the omissions of what went on during certain lapses of time, such as between chapters 6 and 7 of the book, for the writer was not trying to give a complete historical account of the times.
