    Before getting started, let’s review a few notes …

    *This work mostly uses British spelling, except for the quoted material, which often employs U.S. spelling.

    *The terms LORD, GOD, and Hashem are all ways to describe the personal name of God, also rendered as Yahweh or Jehovah.

    *The ALT3 distinguishes between singular and plural second-person pronouns by means of an asterisk (*).

    *Divine pronouns are normally not capitalized, unless they appear that way in Bible versions or other quotes.

    *As a general rule, words that appear in brackets within quotes are not found in the original texts, and were added by the translators or are my personal comments, etc.

Esther and Mordecai had not returned to the land and did not seem interested in complying with the prophetic command to return. The Persian monarch mentioned in the
