    Notes:

    the festival of Purim was a later addition, not mentioned in the Books of Moses
    the story concerns the marriage of Esther-a Jew-to a Persian king
    the book itself makes no mention of God
    the emphasis on retaliation in the final chapters of Esther is contrary to the teachings of the Dead Sea Scrolls.
