Judith & Esther Daniel W Merrick

These books originally contained in the Apocryphal 1611 AD Version of the King James Bible has been lost to the doubtful disputes over validity of the additional texts and content. Many theologians have argued over the last four centuries that these books should not be included in the canonized scriptures. Esther makes the additions of use of Dragons as a term and adds Purim as a feast not found in Torah as with many books excluded like Maccabees and Tanya, many extra late mid-evil era language and unknown till late 4th Century AD practices of Jews in Europe such as Hanukkah have cause questions among both Protestants and Messianic Jewish believers. Perhaps as historical rather than scriptural documents one might view these texts as a period piece in time that can validate the Hebrew Faith as a actual practice of spiritual understanding and worship. I have restored the Name of YAH for G-D and the Full name Yahuah for LORD. The Word ALMIGHTY has been restored to a preferred term where the G-D (God) appeared and format changes were made to given ease of reading and understanding. My Opinion is that the Original Tanak, old Testament should have had a post scripted versions of some of these books not as words of the Almighty but as Histories of the times to aid readers in a fuller view of the repeated captivities of the Hebrew people. There is no doubt that upon many attempts by mankind to wipe out the Jews and Hebrews from the world for what ever hate seems to drive them, something supernatural has kept them preserved as a nation and a people that survive. The contribution of the Hebrew Tribes and their ancestors and descendants has enhanced the education and cultures of the planet and will someday prove to be our only true salvation in the Hebrew Messiah Yahshua.
