IMHO, the books of Maccabees belong in the cannon more than does Esther, but I can say for a fact that there are aspects of the King James that are clear mistranslations of the Hebrew; but then, the JPS has them too.It is not for you or anyone else to determine what does and does not belong in the Hebrew Bible. That decision was made by the Prophets of the 'Anshei HaKenesset HaGedolah.

It is not for you or anyone else to determine what does and does not belong in the Hebrew Bible. I didn't. I offered my opinion, and nothing more.
