에스더 10
예루살렘에 정착할 자들을 제비 뽑아 십 분의 일을 성읍으로 이주시킨다. 나머지 성읍에 거주하는 각 지파 사람들의 이름도 기록된다. 예루살렘에 거주하는 제사장과 레위인의 명단이 함께 제시된다.
1And the king Ahasuerus laid a tribute upon the land, and upon the isles of the sea.
2And all the acts of his power and of his might, and the declaration of the greatness of Mordecai, whereunto the king advanced him, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Media and Persia?
3For Mordecai the Jew was next unto king Ahasuerus, and great among the Jews, and accepted of the multitude of his brethren, seeking the wealth of his people, and speaking peace to all his seed.
