Building an Altar Despite Animosity: A Literary Defense of the Concessive Reading of Ezra 3:3a
A common scholarly understanding is that the first group of returnees in Ezra 3:3a built an altar "because they were in dread of the neighboring peoples." I find such a reading to be unlikely for three reasons. First, a study of Ezra 3:3a reveals that accepting the common understanding gen...

| 520 | |a A common scholarly understanding is that the first group of returnees in Ezra 3:3a built an altar "because they were in dread of the neighboring peoples." I find such a reading to be unlikely for three reasons. First, a study of Ezra 3:3a reveals that accepting the common understanding generates an awkward reading.
