1 Esdras , also
Greek Esdras,
Greek Ezra, or
3 Esdras, is an ancient Greek version of the biblical
Book of Ezra in use among ancient Jewry, the
early church, and many modern Christians with varying degrees of canonicity. First Esdras is substantially the same as
Masoretic Ezra, with one notable addition corresponding to the middle of Ezra Chapter 4.
