Interesting thing about the Book of Esther.....the name of God is never mentioned. Only book in scripture with that distinction.

Not the Septuagint version. Thus, the Catholic OT has the Greek version of Esther.

Regards

It is the only book in the Hebrew Bible not represented among the Dead Sea Scrolls. Indeed, the revised and expanded Greek version of Esther was most likely produced to make the book more acceptable." (Invitation to the Apocrypha, p. 53

Found here ....last paragraph.

How are you Joe? Haven't seen you for a while.
