romanized sefer ḥaggay is a book of the hebrew bible or tanakh and is the third to last of the twelve minor prophets 1 2 it is a short book consisting of only two chapters 3 the historical setting dates around 520 bc before the temple had been rebuilt 4 the original text was written in biblical hebrew authorship edit the book of haggai is named after the prophet haggai whose prophecies are recorded in the book the authorship of the book is uncertain some presume that haggai wrote the book himself but he is repeatedly referred to in the third person which makes it unlikely that he wrote the text it is more probable that the book was written by a disciple of haggai who sought to preserve the content of haggai s spoken prophecies 5 there is no biographical information given about the prophet in the book of haggai haggai s name is derived from the hebrew verbal root hgg which means to make a pilgrimage w sibley towner suggests that haggai s name might come from his single minded effort to bring about the reconstruction of that destination of ancient judean pilgrims the temple in jerusalem 6 date edit the book of haggai records events in 520 bc some 18 years after cyrus had conquered babylon and issued a decree in 538 bc allowing the captive judahites to return to judea cyrus saw the restoration of the temple as necessary for the restoration of religious practices and a sense of peoplehood after the long exile 7 the precise date of the written text is uncertain but most likely dates to within a generation of haggai himself 7 a traditional consensus dates the completion of the text to c 515 bc 8 other scholars consider the book to be completed around 417 bc arguing that it did not refer to darius the great darius i but to darius ii 424 405 bc 9 early surviving manuscripts edit some early manuscripts containing the text of this book in biblical hebrew are of the masoretic text which includes the codex cairensis 895 the petersburg codex of the prophets 916 and codex leningradensis 1008 10 a fragments of the hebrew text of this book were found among the dead sea scrolls including 4q77 4qxii b 150 125 bce 12 13 14 4q80 4qxii e 75 50 bce 15 13 16 and wadi murabba at minor prophets mur88 murxiiproph 75 100 ce 13 17 there is also a translation into koine greek known as the septuagint made in the last few centuries bce extant ancient

haggai the whole book of haggai in latin as a part of codex gigas made around 13th century haggai s message is filled with an urgency for the people to proceed with the rebuilding of the second jerusalem temple haggai attributes a recent drought to the people s refusal to rebuild the temple which he sees as key to jerusalem s glory the book ends with the prediction of the downfall of kingdoms with one zerubbabel governor of judah as the lord s chosen leader the first chapter contains the first address 2 11 and its effects 12 15 the second chapter contains the second prophecy 1 9 delivered a month after the first the third prophecy 10 19 delivered two months and three days after the second and the fourth prophecy 20 23 delivered on the same day as the third these discourses are referred to in ezra 5 1 and 6 14 compare haggai 2 7 8 and 22 text from haggai 2 9 on a synagogue in alkmaar the glory of this present house will be greater than the glory of the former house haggai reports that three weeks after his first prophecy the rebuilding of the temple began on september 7 521 bc they came and began to work on the house of the lord almighty their god on the twenty fourth day of the sixth month in the second year of darius the king haggai 1 14 15 and the book of ezra indicates that it was finished on february 25 516 bc the temple was completed on the third day of the month adar in the sixth year of the reign of king darius ezra 6 15 musical usage edit the king james version of haggai 2 6 7 is used in the libretto of the english language oratorio messiah by
