There is also a translation into Koine Greek known as the Septuagint, made in the last few centuries BCE. Extant ancient manuscripts of the Septuagint version include Codex Sinaiticus (S; BHK: <math> \mathfrak{G}</math>S; 4th century; only Ezra 9:9 to end),[3] Codex Vaticanus (B; <math> \mathfrak{G}</math>B; 4th century), and Codex Alexandrinus (A; <math> \mathfrak{G}</math>A; 5th century).Шаблон:Sfn

An ancient Greek book called 1 Esdras (Greek: Шаблон:Lang) containing some parts of 2 Chronicles, Ezra and Nehemiah is included in most editions of the Septuagint and is placed before the single book of Ezra–Nehemiah (which is titled in Greek: Шаблон:Lang). 1 Esdras 8:68-90 is an equivalent of Ezra 9 (Repentance from mixed marriages).[4][5]
