The opening as it read in October 6, 2023
Nehemiah Nehemiah 8 is the eighth chapter of the Book of Nehemiah in the Old Testament of the Christian Bible , or the 18th chapter of the book of Ezra–Nehemiah in the Hebrew Bible , which treats the book of Ezra and the book of Nehemiah as one book. Jewish tradition states that Ezra is the author of Ezra-Nehemiah as well as the Book of Chronicles , but modern scholars generally accept that a compiler from the 5th century BCE (the so-called " Chronicler ") is the final author of these books. This chapter and the next focus mainly on Ezra , with this chapter recording Ezra's reading and instructing God's law to the people, then together they celebrated the Feast of Tabernacles with great joy. Nehemiah the governor is mentioned briefly in verse 9 but Smith-Christopher argues that "the presence of Ezra and the virtual absence of Nehemiah support the argument that chapter 8 is among the displaced chapters from the Ezra material", and suggests that "the original place for [this chapter] would logically have been between Ezra 8 and 9 ".1
