Σύνοψη:The Levitical prayer in Nehemiah 9 contributes to the gola-ideology running throughout Ezra-Nehemiah, but scholars have generally recognized that its compositional origins are to be connected to the Homeland communities of the exilic or early Persian periods.

The prayer testifies to tensions within Levite circles well into the Persian period and possibly even beyond.
