Open English Translation LES Introduction

Introduction

The Second Book of Esdras is included in the Slavonic Bible as 3 Esdras, but is not found in the Greek Septuagint. It is included in the Appendix to the Latin Vulgate Bible as 4 Esdras. It is considered to be Apocrypha by most church traditions. It is preserved here for its supplementary historical value.

This is still an early look into the unpolished text of the Open English Translation of the Bible. Please double-check the text in advance before using in public.
