The Septuagint Version Of The Old Testament: English Translation by Sir Lancelot Charles Lee Brenton

Additions to Esther

These additions to the Canonical Esther supply it with a preface and a conclusion, and expand the narrative in three places. They were probably written to give a more definite religious character to the book. The writer of the additional chapters was probably an Egyptian Jew, who wrote in Greek, in the first or second century B.C.
