Bible (DRV) Apocrypha/Deuterocanon: Additions to Esther

The "Bible (DRV) Apocrypha/Deuterocanon: Additions to Esther" is a collection of six additional chapters found in the Greek translation of the Book of Esther. These chapters were later noted by Jerome, a scholar, and included in the Latin Vulgate. The Greek text also contains some changes in the meaning of the main text. The extra chapters include prayers to God, which were added to address the perceived lack of mention of God in the original book. Jerome recognized these additions as not present in the Hebrew Text and placed them at the end of his Latin translation. However, some modern Catholic English Bibles restore the Septuagint order, including these additional chapters.
