The Books of Esdras and Nehemiah were written certainly after their return from captivity; because their return, the re-edification of the walls and houses of Jerusalem, the renovation of the Covenant, and ordination of their policy are therein contained.
Esdras eta Nehemiasen liburuak, dudarik gabe, gatibalditik itzuli ondoren idatziak dira; liburuotan, izan ere, itzulerako kontuak, hala nola Jerusalengo murruen eta etxeen berreraiketa, Itunaren berriztapena, eta politika antolamendua kontatzen baitira.
