| | 2 Esdras - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Among Greek Fathers of the Church, the book is generally cited as Εσδρας Προφήτης ("The Prophet Esdras") or Αποκάλυψις Εσδρα ("Apocalypse of Ezra"). | | | The introitus of the traditional Requiem in the Catholic Church is taken from chapter 2: "Eternal rest grant unto them, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon them." Several other liturgical prayers are taken from the book. | | | While it was not received into European Christian canons, it is regarded as Scripture in the Ethiopian Orthodox Church, and was also widely cited by early Fathers of the Church, particularly Ambrose of Milan. |

| | THIRD BOOK OF EZRA - LoveToKnow Article on THIRD BOOK OF EZRA |
| | The Apocalyspe is called I Esdras, our author 2 Esdras, and Ezra and Nehemiah 3 Esdras, Ot 3 and 4 Esdras. | | | The adverse judgment of the church is due to Jerome, who, from his firm attachment to the Hebrew Old Testament, declined to translate the dreams of 3 and 4 Esdras. | | | For this view he adduces among others the following grounds: (i.) Its use by Josephus, who apparently was not acquainted with 2 Esdras. |

| | This Esdras went up from Babylon, and he was a ready scribe in the law of Moses, which the Lord God had given to Israel: and the king granted him all his request, according to the hand of the Lord his God upon him. | | | And thou Esdras according to the wisdom of thy God, which is in thy hand, appoint judges and magistrates, that may judge all the people, that is beyond the river, that is, for them who know the law of thy God, yea and the ignorant teach ye freely. | | | And this is the copy of the letter of the edict, which king Artaxerxes gave to Esdras the priest, the scribe instructed in the words and commandments of the Lord, and his ceremonies in Israel. |

| | The book of 2 ESDRAS is written as a series of visions and prophecies that were given to Ezra, the priest who is sometimes referred to as the "second founder of Judaism" after Moses (see Ezra 7-10; Neh 8). | | | The first section of the book (chapters 1 and 2) explores how and why God abandoned the chosen people of Israel and now gives the promise of eternal life to a new group of faithful people, perhaps meaning the Christian church. | | | Esdras is the Greek form of the Hebrew name Ezra. |

| | Notes to Lesson 12: 2 Esdras |
| | For Paul and the author of 2 Esdras, redefining the boundaries of Israel became the means by which to understand how God remained faithful to God’s covenant people. | | | The original language of 2 Esdras is Hebrew and was likely written by a Jew in Palestine about the same time John wrote the Book of Revelation. | | | Chapters 1-2 and 15-16 are Jewish-Christian compositions that date in the second century and third century A.D. The core of the 2 Esdras (3-14) are a independent unity written by a Jew around 90 A.D. as he reflects on the destruction of the Temple and Jerusalem and the continued prosperity of Rome. |

| | The apocryphal book of 2 Esdras may have furnished some material for Lehi's vision of "the tree of life" which is found in the very first book of the Book of Mormon, 1 Nephi, chapter 8. | | | The words "diligence unto" are not in the Bible, but they are found in both 2 Esdras, 13:54, and the Book of Mormon, 2 Nephi 29:4. | | | The book of 2 Esdras, 13:52, contains the words "are in the deep of the sea," and we find the following in the Book of Mormon, Alma 3:3, "are in the depths of the sea."

| | What the purpose of 1 Esdras was is not certain, although concentration on the Temple, its worship, and leaders who reformed or restored its worship suggests that it may have been intended to make a statement of some sort concerning the Temple cult or its leadership. | | | It is included in the Septuagint (lxx), the Greek version of the ot in use in the early church. | | | Along with the Rest of Esther and the additions to Daniel, the existence of 1 Esdras suggests that the format and content of some of the latest books in the ot were still in flux in the second and first centuries b.c. |

| | 1 Esdras as the name of the book derives from the Greek Bible (the Septuagint), where it is called Esdras A (alpha), while the combined book of Ezra and Nehemiah is called Esdras B (beta). | | | Since most of 1 Esdras is found elsewhere in the biblical text, these notes comment only on the differences between 1 Esdras and those other texts. | | | Some have thought that it was originally written in Hebrew, its text being a variant from that of the Masoretic text of the Hebrew Bible. |

| | Authority definitely states that Esdras the prophet, the author of IV Esdras, and Esdras the scribe, the author of the canonical Ezra, lived about 100 years apart. | | | Epiphanius (On the Twelve Gems) speaks of an 'Esdras the priest - not that Esdras who was called Salathiel, whose father was Zorobabel, which Zorobabel was son to Jechonias.' Epiphanius - who is wrong, by the way - in his genealogy, nowhere shows any knowledge of IV Esdras. | | | The Vulgate places this book, together with the Prayer of Manasses and III Esdras (the "Greek Ezra"), in an Appendix at the end of the whole Bible. |

| | The oldest extant name is "The Prophet Ezra" (Esdras ho prophetes; see Clement of Alexandria, Strom., iii.16): It has been often called the Latin Esdras because it exists more completely in that language; compare the name Greek Esdras for 1 Esdras. | | | This conclusion rests mainly on the most likely interpretation of the vision of the Eagle and the Lion in 2 Esdras 11:1 through 12:51; but also on the fact that Clement of Alexandria (died 217 AD) quotes the Greek of 5:35. | | | This book was not received by the Council of Trent as canonical, nor has it ever been acknowledged as such by the Anglican church. |
