The exact details as to the final completion of the Old Testament canon are not known. But in the first 2,000 years, the word was passed from generations to generations orally. Moses was the first to introduce the word by writing. The Bible says that God spoke face to face with Moses.

And he said, "Hear my words: When there are prophets among you, I the LORD make myself known to them in visions; I speak to them in dreams. Not so with my servant Moses; he is entrusted with all my house. With him I speak face to face-clearly, not in riddles; and he beholds the form of the LORD" (Numbers 12:6-8).

The combination of the Old Testament and the New Testament to form the Christian Bible took place during the early centuries of the Christian church.

How many years did it take Ezra to rebuild Jerusalem?

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.

Why is this intertestamental period of time important for understanding the New Testament?

This period is about 4 centuries. This time for Israel was a time of terrible oppression, invasion, and bloodshed. But as always through out the history of Israel there was a faithful remnant who guarded the "sacred oracles of God" - the old testament books of the Law, the Prophets and the Psalms - that had been gathered together by Ezra. The faithful remnant clung to these books and the hope of a coming deliverer, the long promised messiah. The Greek empire came first. The Greeks gave the world a universal language, the New Testament was written in Greek. The Greeks were followed by the Romans. They built roads so they could access their conquered territories. They established political and judicial unity. These roads later aided in the spreading of the gospel. These events set the scene for the New Testament period.
