Proper noun
Ezra-Nehemiah
A book of the Hebrew Bible, covering the period from the fall of Babylon in 539 BCE to the second half of the 5th century BCE, and telling of the successive missions to Jerusalem of Zerubbabel, Ezra and Nehemiah, and their efforts to restore the worship of the God of Israel and to create a purified Jewish community.
The canonical Ezra-Nehemiah is known in the Septuagint as "Esdras B", and 1 Esdras is "Esdras A". 1 Esdras is a very similar text to the books of Ezra-Nehemiah, and the two are widely thought by scholars to be derived from the same original text. Source: Internet
The events described in Ezra-Nehemiah are mostly dated to the fifth century, and Darius II 's (423-405) being mentioned (Neh. 12:22) would appear to support an early fourth-century date for the work's completion and compilation. Source: Internet
