B. Swete, The Old Testament in Greek, 19.prologue GREEK: ἄνθρωπος Ἰουδαῖος οἰκῶν ἐν Σούσοις τῇ πόλει, ἄνθρωπος μέγας, θεραπεύων ἐν τῇ αὐλῇ τοῦ βασιλέως· ENGLISH (draft-awaiting-approval): a Jewish man living in the city of Susa, a great man, serving at the king's court; PARALLELS: - [Flagged] Yalkut Shimoni on Nach 1052:2 (Yalkut Shimoni on Esther (Remez 1046-1061)) — conduit: lost intermediary. R. Shimon answers exactly the plus's implicit question — why this one man is singled out as 'a Jewish man' — with his royal descent and lifelong abstention, a specific reason not supplied by MT. - [Flagged] Yalkut Shimoni on Nach 1053:29 (Yalkut Shimoni on Esther (Remez 1046-1061)) — conduit: lost intermediary. Esther is made to ask the king to seat a righteous Jew at the gate as earlier kings seated Daniel, and Mordecai is installed there on that basis — a specific origin-story for his court service that MT does not supply.
