10 Esther

4 And Mordecai said, "These things have come from God. Mordecai remembers his dream. Est.10.1-10
5 For I remember the dream that I had concerning these matters, and none of them has failed to be fulfilled.  
6 The tiny spring which became a river, and there was light and the sun and abundant water - the river is Esther, whom the king married and made queen.  
7 The two dragons are Haman and myself.  
8 The nations are those that gathered to destroy the name of the Jews.  
9 And my nation, this is Israel, who cried out to God and were saved. The Lord has saved his people; the Lord has delivered us from all these evils; God has done great signs and wonders, which have not occurred among the nations.  
10 For this purpose he made two lots, one for the people of God and one for all the nations.  
11 And these two lots came to the hour and moment and day of decision before God and among all the nations.  
12 And God remembered his people and vindicated his inheritance.  
13 So they will observe these days in the month of Adar, on the fourteenth and fifteenth of that month, with an assembly and joy and gladness before God, from generation to generation for ever among his people Israel."

Notes: This webpage enables you to select-a-version from the Bible versions held on the katapi bible database.
The katapi New Standard Bible is a very light revision of the RSV. The changes are: (1) In places where 'the LORD', 'O LORD' occurs in the RSV, (it represents the tetragrammaton - YHWH - which is in the hebrew text), I have printed 'YHWH' in black. The later vowel sounds I have shown in the colour gray;
(2) I have removed the quotation marks and hyphens that were used in so many names in the RSV as an aid to correct pronunciation. This now brings it in line with all other English versions, and makes any word-search more accurate.
(3) I have changed all (I hope!) of the RSV archaic language sections to modern.

The katapi New Study Bible reference section displays links to parallel passages, and to direct quotations by New Testament authors to Old Testament passages. Quotations of OT passages by NT authors can in most cases be viewed within their context of the OT passage as a whole, with the quoted text displayed, against a subdued background. Any mismatches, truncated verses, other mistakes ?
