The Additions to Esther
Greek expansions to Esther, including dreams, decrees, and prayers to God.
The Additions to Esther are Apocryphal passages found in the Greek version of the Book of Esther but absent from the Hebrew text underlying most Protestant Bibles. They supply what the Hebrew original leaves out, including Mordecai's prophetic dream and the full wording of royal edicts, in a setting of court intrigue much like Joshua's era of conquest and leadership. Start at Additions to Esther chapter 1 to read Mordecai's dream and its interpretation.
