Ezra 1 is the first 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 believe that a compiler from the 5th century BCE (the so-called "Chronicler") is the final author of these books.[4]
Ezra 1 contains a narrative of the Edict of Cyrus and the initial return of exiles to Judah led by Sheshbazzar as well as the restoration of the sacred temple vessels.[5] It also introduces the section comprising chapters 1 to 6 describing the history before the arrival of Ezra in the land of Judah [5][6] in 468 BCE.[7] The opening sentence of this chapter (and this book) is identical to the final sentence of 2 Chronicles.[8]
