ESTHER
I
had always thought of Esther as being a Jewish name, but I find that it was not
originally so. The Jewish name for this character is Hadassah.
My
Harper Collins Bible Dictionary told me that. It also commented that the
Greek texts of the book of Esther have “Additions to Esther” which are found in
the Apocrypha. I have the Harper Collins Study Bible (NRSV) which
includes these additions, so I am excited about getting down to the full
read.
