| Sumario: | The postexilic books show evidence of an inner-biblical development in dating formulas, a transition from the traditional numerical designation of months to the Babylonian nomenclature. Assuming a natural transition, from the incipient stage in Zechariah through to the complete adoption of the Babylonian system in Ezra-Nehemia, we must place Esther and its mixed formulas in the middle of this spectrum. On this basis, the dating of the composition of the book of Esther should be moved back a couple of centuries, from the early third century to the early Persian period in the late fifth century. |
