CHAP. XI.
The dream of Mardochai which
in the ancient greek and latin
bibles was in the beginning
of the book but was detached
by St. Jerome, and
put in this place.
1 In the fourth year of the
reign of Ptolomee and
Cleopatra, Dositheus, who
said he was a priest, and of the
Levitical race, and Ptolomee
his son brought this epistle of
Phurim, which they said Lysimachus
the son of Ptolomee
had interpreted in Jerusalem.
2 In the second year of the
reign of Artaxerxes the great
in the first day of the month
Nisan, Mardochai the son of
Jair, the son of Semei, the
son of Cis, of the tribe of
Benjamin.
3 A Jew who dwelt in the
city of Susan, a great man
and among the first of the
king's court, had a dream.
4 Now he was of the number
of the captives, whom
Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon
had carried away from
Jerusalem with Jechonias king
of Juda:
5 And this was his dream:
Behold there were voices, and
tumults, and thunders and
earthquakes, and a disturbance
upon the earth.
6 And behold two great
dragons came forth ready to
fight one against another.
-- --
7 And at their cry all nations
were stirred up to fight
against the nation of the just.
8 And that was a day of darkness
and danger, of tribulation
and distress, and great fear
upon the earth.
9 And the nation of the
just was troubled fearing their
own evils, and was prepared
for death.
10 And they cried to God:
and as they were crying, a
little fountain grew into a very
great river, and abounded
into many waters.
11 The light and the sun
rose up, and the humble were
exalted, and they devoured
the glorious.
12 And when Mardochai
had seen this, and arose out of
his bed, he was thinking what
God would do: and he kept
it fixed in his mind, desirous
to know what the dream should
signify?
