CHAP. XI.
2 The stocke and qualitie of Mardocheus. 6
He dreameth of two dragons comming forth
to fight, 10 and of a little fountaine, which
became a great water.
1
In the fourth yeere of the
raigne of Ptolomeus, and
Cleopatra, Dositheus,
who said hee was a priest
and Leuite, and Ptolomeus
his sonne brought this Epistle of
Phurim, which they said was the same,
and that Lysimachus the sonne of Ptolomeus,
that was in Ierusalem, had interpreted
it.
2
In the second yeere of the raigne
of Artaxerxes the great: in the first day
of the moneth Nisan, Mardocheus the
sonne of Iairus, the sonne of Semei,
the sonne of Cisai of the tribe of Beniamin,
had a dreame.
3
Who was a Iew and dwelt in the
citie of Susa, a great man, being a seruitour
in the kings court.
4
He was also one of the captiues,
which Nabuchodonosor the king of
Babylon caried from Ierusalem, with
Iechonias king of Iudea; and this
was his dreame.
5
Behold a noise of a tumult with
thunder, and earthquakes, and vproare
in the land.
6
And behold, two great dragons
came forth ready to fight, and their crie
was great.
7
And at their cry all nations were
prepared to battel, that they might fight
against the righteous people.
8
And loe a day of darknesse and
obscurity: tribulation, and anguish, affliction,
and great vproare vpon the
earth.
9
And the whole righteous nation
was troubled, fearing their owne euils,
and were ready to perish.
10
Then they cryed vnto God, and
vpon their cry, as it were from a little
fountaine, was made a great flood, euen
much water.
11
The light and the Sunne rose vp,
and the lowly were exalted, and deuoured
the glorious.
12
Now when Mardocheus, who
had seene this dreame, and what God
had determined to doe, was awake: he
bare this dreame in minde, and vntill
night by all meanes was desirous to
know it.
