Additions to Esther

From Simple English Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Additions to Esther refers to several additional chapters (11-16) to the Book of Esther, found in the Septuagint. These Chapters are found in Catholic and Orthodox Bibles but generally not in ones used by Protestants. Some of the additions are:

  • Mordechai's dream, his later interpretation of the dream in light of what happened to him in real life
  • Details of the decree against the Jews
