According to tradition, the Hebrew Bible was completed around 340 BCE. The Jewish sages of the time, including the last living Jewish prophets, convened a special synod for a couple of decades, which was called the Men of the Great Assembly (Mishna, Avot ch.1). This group composed the blessings and the basic prayers of the Jewish prayerbook and the early portions of the Passover Haggadah, made many of the Rabbinical decrees, and (most importantly) sealed the canon of the Hebrew Bible. It was they, for example, who set the twelve Minor Prophets as a single book, and who set the books in their traditional order. It was the Men of the Great Assembly whom Esther had to approach when she felt that the Divinely inspired Scroll of Esther should be included in the canon (see Talmud, Megilla 7a).
