which are given to you, for the use of the Temple of your Elohim which is
in Yerusalem, you shall set before your Elohim in Yerusalem. And whatsoever thing
else you shall remember for the use of the Temple of your Elohim,
you shall give it out of the king’s treasury. And I, king Artaxerxes, have
also commanded the keepers of the treasures in Syria and Phoenicia, that
whatsoever Ezra the priest, and the reader of the law of the Most High
Elohim shall send for, they should give to him with speed, To the sum of
an hundred talents of silver: likewise also of wheat even to an hundred cors, and an hundred
pieces of wine, and other things in abundance. Let all things be performed after
the law of Elohim diligently unto the Most High Elohim, that wrath
come not upon the kingdom of the King and his sons. I command you also
that you require no tax, nor any other imposition of any of the Priests or
Levites, or holy singers, or porters, or ministers of the temple, or of any that have doings in
this temple, and that no man have authority to impose anything upon them.
And you, Ezra, according to the wisdom of Elohim, ordain judges, and
justices, that they may judge in all Syria and Phoenicia, all those that
know the law of your Elohim, and those that know it not you shall
teach. And whosoever shall transgress the law of your Elohim, and of
the king, shall be punished diligently, whether it be by death or other
punishment, by penalty of money, or by imprisonment.
We are to believe the same king who even decreed for Ezra to restore the law of his
people which he well knew was different from Persia, forgot his commitment and edict.
This is a king who blessed the Yahudim with freedom, gave them gifts, offered to the
Temple, approved of their worship and especially their law, offered penalty of death for
those in their area who did not keep their law which he was familiar and embraced. The
same king who desired the protection of Yahuah and feared His wrath who declared
that any nation that rises against the Yahudim will be destroyed, now changes his mind,
loses his fear and conviction for a God he called Most High even above his Persian gods.
You can now see why Esther needed to be fraudulently forced into this fragment as to
admit it is 1st Esdras endorses the book which completely exposes Esther, Purim and
the Pharisee paradigm as false.
However, Esther’s issues are even more glaring. For instance, Esther meaning “star” is
the same name as the goddess Isthar/Astarte/Ashteroth/Asherah. Some even equate
this name to Ashima, the god or goddess of the Samaritans who replaced the Northern
Tribes of Israel which would be likely and they were Persians/Medians/Assyrians.
Modern Judaism does not worship YHWH whom they blot out but Hashem that derived
from Ashima etymologically. Esther’s Hebrew name is impertinent as it is a side note
in the story and she does not behave as a Hebrew serving Yahuah. Ishtar as well was a
