An Appendix and conclusion of this historie. 2. The dreame of Mardocheus.
1 In the fourth yeare when Ptolomee and Cleopatra reigned,
Dositheus, which named himself a Priest, and of the Leuitical
kinred, and Ptolomee his sonne brought this epistle of
Phurim, which they sayd Lysimachus the sonne of Ptolomee
did interprete in Ierusalem.
[Subnote: A] This beginning was in the common edition, which is neither extant
in Hebrew, nor with any of [Subnote: Except the 72.] the interpreters.
2 noteIn the second yeare, when Artaxerxes the greatest reigned,
in the first day of the moneth Nisan, Mardocheus the sonne
of Iairi, the sonne of Semei, the sonne of Cis, of the tribe of
Beniamin.
3 A Iew which dwelt in the citie of Susan, a great
-- --
man and among the first of the kings court, note saw a dreame.
4 And he was of that number of captiues, whom Nabuchodonosor
the king of Babylon had transported from Ierusalem
with Ieconias the king of Iuda:
5 and this was his dreame:
There appeared voices, and tumultes, and thunders and
earth quakes, and perturbation vpon the earth:
6 and behold
note two great dragons, prepared one against an other into battel.
7 At whose crie al nations were raysed vppe, to fight against
the nation of the iust.
8 And that was a day of darkenesse and
danger, of tribulation and distresse, and great feare vpon
the earth.
9 And the nation of the iust fearing their euils, was
trubled, and prepared to death.
10 And they cried to God: and
they cyring, note a litle fountayne grew into a verie great riuer,
and abounded into verie manie waters.
11 Light and sunne
arose, and the humble were exalted, and they deuoured the
glorious.
12 Which when Mardocheus had seene, and risen
out of his bed, he mused what God would doe: and he had it
fixed in his mind, desirous to know what the dreame should
signifie? note
