In Roman Catholicism, following the numbering of the Vulgate, 3 Esdras refers to the book known in the Septuagint and by English-speaking Protestants as 1 Esdras.

In Slavonic Bibles and some old Latin manuscripts 3 Esdras refers to the book known as 2 Esdras by English-speaking Protestants and 4 Esdras in the Roman Catholic Vulgate. Chapter 3-14 of Latin Esdras are sometimes also referred to as Ezra/Shealtiel or the Jewish Apocalypse of Ezra,
