The book of 1 Esdras is counted among the apocryphal books
of the Old Testament.
The book is not extant among the Hebrew scriptures, but rather in
the Septuagint, abbreviated LXX.
The titles of the books of Ezra, Nehemiah, and Esdras can be quite
confusing:
| Hebrew Masoretic. |
Greek Septuagint. |
Latin Vulgate. |
English Authorized. |
| Ezra |
Esdras B |
I Esdras |
Ezra |
| II Esdras |
Nehemiah |
| - |
Esdras A |
III Esdras |
I Esdras |
| - |
- |
IV Esdras |
II Esdras |
