Mordecai’s Dream Fulfilled
4 # 10.4 10.4–13 and 11.1 correspond to F 1–11 in some translations. And Mordecai said, “These things have come from God, 5#Add Est 11.5–11for I remember the dream that I had concerning these matters, and none of them has failed to be fulfilled. 6There was the little spring that became a river, and there was light and sun and abundant water. The river is Esther, whom the king married and made queen. 7The two dragons are Haman and myself. 8#Ps 83.4The nations are those that gathered to destroy the name of the Jews. 9#Ex 7.3; Deut 4.32, 34And my nation, this is Israel, who cried out to God and was saved. The Lord has saved his people; the Lord has rescued us from all these evils; God has done great signs and wonders, wonders that have never happened among the nations. 10#Add Est 3.7; 9.24For this purpose he made two lots, one for the people of God and one for all the nations, 11and these two lots came to the hour and moment and to the day of judgment before God and among all the nations. 12And God remembered his people and vindicated his inheritance. 13#Add Est 9.15, 21, 28So they will observe these days in the month of Adar, on the fourteenth and fifteenth#10.13 Other ancient authorities lack and fifteenth of that month, with an assembly and joy and gladness before God, from generation to generation forever among his people Israel.”
