Book excerpt: Excerpt from Ezra Studies Thirteen years ago, in 1896, I published a pamphlet entitled The Composition and Historical Value of Ezra-Nehcmiah, which appeared in Giessen as one of the Beihefte of the Zeitschrift fur die alttestamcntliche Wissenschaft. It presented in concise form certain conclusions which I had reached a year or two previously, in studying the so-called "Apocryphal Ezra," or First Esdras. At alDout the same time when I was carrying on my investigations appeared the articles of Sir Henry Howorth, in the Academy (see the references given on p. 16), the pamphlets of Hoonacker and Kosters, and the more elaborate treatise of Eduard Meyer (see below). My own conclusions were formulated before I had seen any of these publications, and differed widely from each and all of them at almost every point. I found myself in agreement with Howorth, however, in his important contention that "I Esdras" represents the old Greek translation of Chron.-Ezr.-Neh.; and with Kosters in his argument (previously set forth, less completely, by Schrader and others) that the Biblical account of the return of exiles from Babylonia to Jerusalem in the time of Cyrus is untrustworthy. The conclusions reached and stated in my pamphlet have been adopted, in general, by H. P. Smith in his Old Testament History, and by Kent in his Student's Old Testament, but in each case with little or no discussion of the questions involved. So far as I know, the booklet has never been reviewed or estimated in print, except in four brief German notices, to three of which I have occasion to refer in the present volume. It has been mentioned or quoted in a few places, generally in such a way as to show that it had not been read, but only looked at here and there. Siegfried, in the tolerably long list of monographs given in the preface to his Commentary on Ezra-Nehemiah (1901), does not include it. Driver, Introduction to the Old Testament, names it in his list of monographs, but otherwise takes no notice of it, even when discussing the questions with which it is chiefly concerned.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Ezra, Nehemiah, and Esther Nevertheless, though we seem to be shut up to the view that the Grecian era had been reached before our book was put together, this is really only a matter of literary interest, seeing that it is agreed on all sides that the history is authentic, and that the constitfient parts of it are contemporary with the events they record. The function of the compiler of such a book as this is not much more than that of an editor. It must be ad mitted that the date of the final editor is as late as the Macedonian Empire. The only question is whether this man was the sole editor and compiler of the narrative. We may let that point of purely literary criticism be settled in favour of the later date for the original com pilation, and yet rest satisfied that we have all we want - a thoroughly genuine history in which to study the ways of God with man during the days of Ezra and Nehemiah.

But, as Meyer points out, the following are positive results of historical study that the great world-rulers of antiquity had sacrifices made for them at the shrines of the national cults, Jerusalem among the rest, and that the Persian kings were preeminent in this respect; that the sanctuary-privi. Leges and inviolable sanctity of those shrines were respected by the governing powers, and offenses against them were most severely punished; and finally, that the punishment of impaling here threatened, was a genuinely Persian form of meting out justice or injustice as the case might be.

Download or read book Ezra Nehemiah and Esther written by T. Witton Davies and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-19 with total page 402 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Ezra, Nehemiah and Esther: Introduction Revised Version With Notes Maps and Index Ezra and Nehemiah are treated as one book with the name 'Ezra' in the Talmud, the Massorah, in the LXX (B) (Esdras (B)), in Josephus, and in the early Christian Church. Origen in his Hexapla was the first to divide this one work into two, but the first to give the second part the name 'Nehemiah' was Jerome, according to Sayce and Ryle, though Baudissin says it is due to late MSS. of the LXX. In the Jewish Canon, as represented by our Hebrew Bible, Ezra-Nehemiah and Chronicles (reckoned as one book) are the two last books in the third division (Ketubim or writings, also called Hagiographa), and therefore in the Hebrew Old Testament. In the English, Welsh, &c., Bible, Ezra and Nehemiah, counted as two books, appear after Samuel, Kings, and Chronicles, and before Esther. It is impossible to say for certain when Ezra-Nehemiah was received into the Canon of the Old Testament. Ryle thinks that every book now in the Ketubim must have found its way into the Jewish Canon between 160-109 B. C. His evidence for this conclusion is cumulative, but it is by no means decisive. He does not advance a single argument that settles the matter beyond controversy, nor can the sum total of his arguments be said to do this. It cannot be proved definitely that our Hebrew Bible was recognized as canonical by the Synod of Jamnia (A. D. 90).

Obviously, the argument should begin with an examination of the passage in its context in the book of Nehemiah. As this can be done better in connection with the in vestigation of that book, and as some facts having an important bearing on the question will come to light in course of the study of the Ezra narrative, I will reserve the discussion until Neh. 7 is reached.
