Ezra was presumably active during the time of Persian king Artaxerxes II, but some think he was active during the reign of Artaxerxes I which would make him a contemporary of Nehemiah. The Book of Ezra (7:1ff) gives Ezra the same genealogy as 1 Chronicles (5:34ff) gave Jesus ben Yehozedek 100 years earlier, apparently making them brothers in spite of the difference of so many years. There must at the very least have been some confusion about the historicity of Ezra. With the many parallels between the actions of Ezra and Nehemiah, some believe it is possible that Ezra was a priestly fiction.
Ezra 5:2 says that Zerubbabel began to build the Temple, completing it (Ezra 6:15) in the sixth year of the reign of Darius, obviously before the time of Nehemiah or Ezra. Nehemiah 6:15 says the city wall was completed by Nehemiah in 52 days.

Esther is the only book of the Hebrew Bible not found in the Dead Sea Scrolls. Because Ezra and Nehemiah used to be on one scrool and parts of Ezra were found, scholars assumed this indicated that Nehemiah was in the Dead Sea Scrolls, too. Recently, a fragment of Nehemiah has been identified as coming from among the Dead Sea Scrolls.

1 answer
Ezra was a priest and a descendant of Aaron, the brother of Moses.
He was also called a scribe, which was a person who studied,
wrote, and taught the scriptures a great deal. Ezra led the second
major group of Jews back to Jerusalem sometime around 465-425 B.C.
Some have called Ezra the "father" of modern Judaism because of
his emphasis on studying the law (the scriptures). He led the Jews
at a time when they began focusing more on becoming a church
rather than a nation. Ezra apparently either wrote some of the
book of Ezra or the original writer quoted directly from a record
Ezra wrote because in the last four chapters Ezra spoke in the first
person ("I said," "I sent them," and so on).

Many have held that the so-called "Chronicler" was the final author/editor of Ezra, Nehemiah and the books of Chronicles. These books draw on a number of different sources such as lists, genealogies, letters and memoirs. Parts of Ezra are personal memoirs or reminiscences of Ezra. Some would say that the Chronicler was Ezra himself, while others think he was a later follower of Ezra's circle or a later priest or Levite. Derek Kidner and H.G. M. Williamson hold that linguistic and other differences between the Chronicles and Ezra-Nehemiah indicate different compilers for those books. The degree of involvement, creativity, and quality of work of the Chronicler or compilers is debated.
