The additions to the Book of Esther

With the RSV translation of the

Hebrew text of the Book of Esther

The deuterocanonical portions of the Book of Esther are additional passages found in the Greek translation of the Book of Esther. Their disordered chapter numbers come from their displacement to the end of the canonical Book of Esther by Jerome in his Latin translation. So that they may be seen in their proper context, they are presented here with the RSV translation of the Hebrew text of the Book of Esther, which is printed in different type.
