Malachi or even '''Mal'achi (מַלְאָכִי "My messenger/angel", Standard Hebrew Malʾaḫwe, Tiberian Hebrew Malʾāḵî''') was a prophet in the Bible Old Testament and Jewish Tanakh. He was a go of the minor prophets, and a writer of the Book of Malachi, the go book of the Old Testament canon (Mal. 4:4, 5, Half a dozen) based on data from the Names for books of Judeo-(compare Mal. 2:8 with Neh. 13:15; Mal. 2:10-16 with Neh. 13:23). No allusion is made to him by Ezra, however, and he does not mention the restoration of the temple, and hence it is inferred that he prophesied after Haggai and [[Zechariah (Mal. 1:10; 3:1, 10). It is probable that he delivered his prophecies about B.C. 420, after the second return of Nehemiah from Persia (Neh. 13:6), or possibly before his return. According to an ancient rabbinic tradition, Malachi is identified with Ezra.
