the Book of Esther
God's hand of providence and protection on behalf of His people is evident throughout the Book of Esther, though His name does not appear once. Haman's plot brings grave danger to the Jews and is countered by the courage of beautiful Esther and the counsel of her wise cousin Mordecai, resulting in a great deliverance. The Feast of Purim becomes an annual reminder of God's faithfulness on behalf of His People.
Esther's Hebrew name was Hadassah, "Myrtle" (2:7), but her Persian name Ester was derived from the Persian word for "Star" (Stara). The Greek title for this book is Esther, and the Latin title is Hester.
