Pastor Eli and Pastor Steve review the Book of Esther Septuagint
version and explain that it is not a Jewish book. Eli tells us that when you understand ‘who is
who’ the Book of Esther is a beautiful book.
They explain who the following people are: Esther, Jew, Kenite, Judahites, Judeans, Edomites,
Idumea, Mordecai, Haman and the Amalekites. They also explain that the word ‘Yahweh’ has
been removed from the Book of Ester but still exists in the Septuagint version.
The feast day of Purim was started in the book of Esther and
was held on the 12th Hebrew month (Adar) on the 14th and
15th. Today, according the solar calendar, this feast day should be celebrated on March 2nd and 3rd
(approx. days depends on the spring equinox) by true Israel.

Genesis Chapter 37
1. Dwelt Yaaqob in the
land where sojourned 4033 his father, in the land of K'naan.
2. This is the family
lineage8435 of Yaaqob: Yoseph being seventeen years of
age,was pasturing 7462 with his brothers the flock; and the
lad5288was with the sons of Bil'hah, and the sons of
Zil'pah, wives of his father; and brought a true report1681 of
evildoing 7451 to his father.
3. And Yis'rael loved
Yoseph over all his sons, because he was a son of his old age2208,
and made he for him a tunic 3801reaching to the palms and
soles6466.
4. And when saw his
brothers that loved their father him over all his brothers, they hated 8130 him,
and were not able 3201 to speak to him peaceably 7965.
5. And dreamed 2492 Yoseph
a dream 2472, and told it to his brothers, and even 3254 more 5750 they
hated him.
6. Said he to them,
"Hear now this dream that I dreamed:
7. and behold, we were
binding 481 sheaves 485 in the midst 8432 of
the field, and behold, rose up my sheaf, and also stood upright5324;
and behold, surrounded 5437 it your sheaves and bowed
low7812 to my sheaf."
8. And said to him his
brothers, "Shall you indeed reign4427/4427 over
us?" Or indeed have dominion4910/4910 over
us"? And even more they hated him over his dreams, and over his words.
9. And he dreamed
another 5750 dream afterward 312, and told it to
his brothers, saying, "Behold, I dreamed a dream again, and behold, the
sun8121 and the moon 3394 and eleven stars 3556 bowed
low to me."
10. And he told it to
his father, and to his brothers; and rebuked 1605 him his
father, saying to him, "What is this
dream that you have dreamed? Shall indeed come935/935 I
and your mother and your brothers and bow low to you to the ground?"
11. And envied 7065 him
his brothers, but his father retained 8104 his words.
12. And went his
brothers to feed the sheep of their father in Sh'chem.
13. And said Yis'rael
to Yoseph, "Do not your brothers feed in Sh'chem? Walk, and I shall send
you to them." And he said, "Behold me."
14. And he said to
him, "Walk now, and see if it is well7965 with
your brothers, and it is well with the sheep, and return with word to me."
And he sent him forth from the valley 6010 of Cheb'ron. And he
came to Sh'chemah 7927.
15. Found him a man,
and beheld him wandering 8582 in the field; and asked 7592 him
the man, saying, "What seek 1245 you?"
16. And said he,
"My brothers I seek. Tell me please where 375 they are
feeding?"
17. And said the man,
"They left 5265 from here; for I heard them say, 'Let us walk to
Dothay'nah 1886.'"
And walked Yoseph after his brothers, and found them in Dothan 1886.
18. And they saw him
from afar 7350, and before 2962 he came near 7126 to
them, conspired 5230 they against him to kill 4191 him.
19. And said one man
to his brother, Behold, this master 1167 of dreams comes!
20. Now come, and we
will slay him, and cast 7993 him in a pit 953, and
we will say, 'An evil living creature has eaten him': and we will see what
becomes of his dreams!"
21. And heard R'uben,
and delivered 5337 him from their hands; and said, "Do
not smite 5221 his life 5315."
22. And said to them
R'uben, "Do not 408 spill 8210 blood 1818,
but cast 7993 him into 413 the
pit 953 that
is in the wilderness, and your hand 3027 do not send
forth7971 upon him." (so that he might deliver him
from their hands, and return him to their father).
23. And it was, when
Yoseph had come to his brothers, they had stripped 6584 of his
tunic that reached palms and soles that was upon him;
24. And they took him,
and cast him into a pit: and the pit was empty 7386, with no water
in it.
25. And they sat
down to eat bread, and they lifted up their eyes and looked, and beheld a
caravan 736 of Yish'm'eliym 3459 that came
from Gil'ad with their camels bearing spices 5219, balm 6875,
and myrrh 3910, walking to go down into Mits'ray'mah 4714.
26. Said Yahudah to
his brothers, "What gain 1215 if we slay our brother, and
cover 3680 his blood?
27. Come, and let us
sell 4376 him to theYish'm'eliym, and our hands not be upon
him; for he is our brother and our flesh 1320." And they
listened to their brother.
28. And there passed
by men of Mid'yaniym 4084, traveling merchants5503,
and they removed 4900 and lifted up Yoseph from the pit. And
they sold 4376 Yoseph to the Yish'm'eliym for twenty pieces of
silver: and came Yoseph into Mits'ray'mah.
29. And returned
R'uben to the pit, and behold, was not 369 Yoseph in the pit,
and he rent 7167 his clothes.
30. And returned he to
his brothers and said, "The lad is not there, and I575, where
shall I 589 go 935?"
31. And they took the
tunic 3801 of Yoseph, and slaughtered 7819 a
buck 8163 of the goats 5795, and dipped 2881 the
tunic in the blood;
32. And sent they the
tunic reaching palms and soles, and came to their father, and said, "This
we found: scrutinize 5234 now the tunic, of your son is it or
not?"
33. And he
scrutinized, and said, "The tunic is my son's; an evil
7451 living creature2416 has devoured him: certainly
pulled in pieces2963/2963is Yoseph!"
34. And rent 7167 Yaaqob
his clothes 8071, and put sackcloth 8482 on his
loins 4975, and mourned 56 over his son many 7227 days 3117.
35. And rose up all
his sons and all his daughters to comfort 5162 him, but he
refused 3985 to be comforted, saying, "For I will go down
to my son mourning to Sh'olah 7585." And wept 1058 his
father.
36. And the M'daniym 4084 sold 4376 him
to Mits'rayim to Potiyphar 6318, an officer 5631 of
Par'oh, captain 8269 of of the bodyguard 2876.

4.
Twelve years they had served K'dar'laomer, and in the thirteenth year, they
rebelled4775.
5. In
the fourteenth year came K'dar'laomer, and the kings that were with him, and
smote5221the R'phaiym7947in Ash't'roth-Qarnayim6255, and the Zuziym2104in Ham1990, and the Emiym368in Shaweh-Qir'yathayim7741,
6. and
the Choriy2752in thehill country2042of Seiyr8165, unto Eyl-Paran364, which is by the wilderness4057.
7. They
returned, and came to Eyn-Mish'pat5880,
which is Qadesh6946, and
smote all the fields7704of the Amaleqiy6003, and also the Emoriy567, which dwelled in
Chat'tson-Tamar2688.
8. Went forth the king of S'dom, and the king of Amorah, and the
king of Ad'mah, and the king of Bela1106,
which is Tsoar6820; andassembled in battle array6186against them in battle4421in the valley of Sidiym7708:
9. with K'dar'laomer king of Eylam, and Tid'al king of Goim, and
Amraphel king of Shinar, and Ar'yoch king of Ellasar - four kings against five.
10. The valley of Sidiym wasfull
of pits875/875of bitumen2564, and when fled the kings
of S'dom and Amorah, somefell
in5307there, and the survivors7604fled to thehill country2022.
11. They took all the property of S'dom and Amorah, and all
their food400, and walked
away.
12. And they took Lot and his property, son of the brother of
Ab'ram, and walked away; for he dwelled in S'dom.
13. And came an escapee6412,
and told Ab'ram the Ib'riy5680,
for he dwelled7931at the Terebinths of Mam're4471the Emoriy, kinsman of Eshkol812, and kinsman of Aner6063: these were lords1167allied1285with Ab'ram.
14. When heard Ab'ram that hadbeen
taken captive7617his kinsman, heled forth7324histrained
men2593, born in his
household, three hundred and eighteen, and pursued7291them unto Dan1835.
15. He divided2505against them by night3915, he and his servants, and
smote them, and pursued them unto Chobah2327,
which is north8040of
Dammeseq1834.
16. He returned with all the property, and also Lot his kinsman,
and his property he also returned, and also the women, and the people.
17. Went forth the king of S'dom to meet7125him after he returned from smiting
K'dar'laomer and the kings that were with him in the valley of Shaweh7740, which is the valley of
the king.
18. Malkiy-Tsedeq4442king of Shalem8004brought forth bread and wine: he was a
priest3548of El-Elyon410/5945.
19. And he blessed him, and said, "Blessed be Ab'ram of
El-Elyon, possessor7069of the sky and the land,
20. and blessed be El-Elyon, who has delivered4042your adversaries6862into your hand." And gave himAb'rama tenth4643of allthe property.
21. Said the king of S'dom to Ab'ram, "Give me the people,
and the property take for yourself."
22. Said Ab'ram to the king of S'dom, "I have raised7311my hand to Yahweh, El-Elyon, possessor
of the sky and the land,
23. thatnota thread2339unto a strap8288of a sandal5275, will I take from all that
is yours, lest you say, 'I havemade
rich6238Ab'ram,':
24. except that which
have eaten theyoung men5288, and the portion2506of the men that went with me, Aner,
Eshkol, and Mam're; let them take their portion."

1. After
these things, came the Word of Yahweh to Ab'ram in a vision4236saying, "Do not408fear3772Ab'ram : I am your shield4043,
and your exceedingly3966great7235reward7939."
2. And
said Ab'ram, "Lord136Yahweh, what will You give me, as I
walk childless6185, and
the son1121of acquisition4943of my household is this Dammeseq1834Eliyezer461!"
3. And
said Ab'ram, "Behold, to me You have not given offspring2233: and behold, one born of
my household is my heir3423."
4. And
behold, the Word of Yahwehcameto him, saying, "This shall
not be your heir, but that which comes forth from your loins4578shall be your heir."
5. And
He brought him outside2351,
and said, "Look5027now4994at the sky, and count5608the stars3556, if you are able3201to number5608them:" and He said
to him, "So shall be your offspring."
6. And believed539he Yahweh;and He reckoned2803it to him for righteousness6666.
7. And
He said to him, "I Yahweh that brought you forth from Ur of the
Kas'diym, give you this land to inherit."
8. And
he said, "Lord136Yahweh, how will I know that I will
inherit it?"
9. And
He said to him, "Take for Me a heifer5697of three8027 years, and a
she-goat5795of threeyears, and a turtledove8449, and a young
pigeon1469."
10. And
he took all these,and separated1334them in the middle8432, and placed each piece1335meeting7125another7453:but the birds6833he did not separate.
11. And
when thebirds of prey5861came down upon the carcasses6297,drove them away5380Ab'ram.
12. When
the sun8121was goingdown, atrancelike sleep8639fell5307upon Ab'ram; and a dread367of great darkness2825fell upon him.
13. And
He said to Ab'ram, "Know as a certainty3045/3045that sojourners1616shall be your offspring in a
land not theirs, and shall serve them, and be afflicted6031by them four hundred years;
14.and also the nation that they
serve, I willexecute
judgement upon1777:
and afterwards they shall come away with great possessions.
15.And you shall go to your
forefathers in peace; you shall be buried6912in a good2896old age7872.
16.But in the fourth generation1755they shall return7725here2008: because not whole8003is the evil5771of the Emoriy567here."
17. And
it was, when the sun wentdown,
and it wasthick blackness5939, behold, a smoking6227fire pot8574and a burning784lamp3940,
that passed between those pieces1506.
The Covenant of the Promise
18. In
that same day made3772Yahweh a Covenant with Ab'ram, saying,
"To your offspring2233I give this land, from the
river5104of Mits'rayim unto the great river,
the river P'rath6758:
19.the Qeniy7017, the Q'nizziy7074, and the Qad'moniy6935,
20.and the Chittiy2850, and the P'rizziy6522, and the R'phaiym7497,

2. And
said Saray to Ab'ram, "Behold now, I am restrained6113by Yahweh from bearing: go in now unto
my maidservant;it may be194that I may build1129 a familyfrom her." And listened Ab'ram to
the voice of Saray.
3. And
took Saray wife of Abram Hagar the Mits'riyth, her maidservant, after7093ten6235years of dwelling with Ab'ram in the
land of K'naan, and gave her to Ab'ram her husband as a concubine802.
4. He
went in unto Hagar, and she conceived2029,
and when she saw that she had conceived, she had contempt7043for her mistress1404in her eyes5869.
5. And
said Saray to Ab'ram, "I have been wronged2555. To you I gave my
maidservant as a concubine2436;
and she saw that she conceived, and has contemptfor mein her eyes! Judge8199Yahweh between you and between
me."
6. Said
Ab'ram to Saray, "Behold, your maidservant is in your hand; do what is
good2896in your eyes." And when humbled6031her Saray, she fled1272from before her.
7. Found4672her a messenger4397of Yahweh by a spring5869of water in the wilderness4057, by a spring on the way1870to Shur7793,
8. and

presence of Saray my mistress I flee."
9. And
said to her the messenger of Yahweh, "Return to your mistress, and
humble6031yourself under8478her hand."
10. And

12.And he shall be awild ass6501of an adam, and his handwill beagainstall3605, and the hand of
allagainst him,
and in the presence of all his kinsmen he shall dwell7931."
13. And
she called the name of Yahweh that spoke to her, " You859are El410Roiy7210":
