Endnote 2 – Ezra and the Dead Sea Scrolls

The Book of Ezra-Nehemiah found in our Bibles depends on the Hebrew text of the Leningrad Codex, the oldest complete manuscript of the Hebrew Bible, which dates to 1008 C.E. The book’s ancient Greek translation closely follows the Hebrew of the Leningrad Codex, which indicates that an original Hebrew-Aramaic text of Ezra-Nehemiah was already circulating in the second century B.C.E.
