Description
Esther is a Biblical text beloved by Jews and Christians alike. The Additions to Esther are variances between the original Hebrew and the Greek Septuagent where approximately six chapters of additional text are interspersed throughout the ten chapter book. A large portion of this additional narrative are the prayers of Mordecai and Queen Esther before she risks her life before the King.
The Apocryphal books are considered to be Scripture in the Roman Catholic and Orthodox Christian traditions while being considered very important books of the church that should be read for deeper understanding for most Protestant traditions.
