Abstract

The presence of the narrative in Ezra 1:1-11 by the Priestly writer (P) concerning the rebuilding of the Temple in Jerusalem does not rely solely on his own sources. The author of the Chronicler’s History, identified as P, draws upon other sources beyond his personal records, ranging from the Abrahamic tradition to the era of Solomon. This includes the traditions of prophets both before and after the exile, such as Deutero-Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, Haggai, and Zechariah. P elaborates on these various sources in detail, rendering the narrative engaging and rich in content. As a result, the narrative offers a new theology for both the post-exilic community and contemporary readers. It seems that the rebuilding did not occur solely due to Cyrus’s decree. In fact, the decree was not realized during Cyrus’s reign; rather, it took nearly eighteen years before the reconstruction of the Second Temple actually began. This paper offers an examination of the Priestly writer (P) and the traditions within the narrative of Ezra 1:1-11 concerning the history of the rebuilding of the Temple in Jerusalem. The approach taken in this study employs relevant literature to substantiate the sources used by P and other materials incorporated into Ezra 1:1-11.
