B. Swete, The Old Testament in Greek, 19.prologue GREEK: καὶ διεγερθεὶς Μαρδοχαῖος ἑωρακὼς τὸ ἐνύπνιον τοῦτο, καὶ τί ὁ θεὸς βεβούλευται ποιῆσαι, εἶχεν αὐτὸ ἐν τῇ καρδίᾳ, καὶ ἐν παντὶ λόγῳ ἤθελεν ἐπιγνῶναι αὐτὸ ἕως τῆς νυκτός. ENGLISH (draft-awaiting-approval): And Mordecai, having woken and seen this dream, and what God had resolved to do, kept it in his heart, and in every matter he wanted to understand it, until night. PARALLELS: - [Flagged] Otzar Midrashim, Midrashim on Megilat Esther, Midrash on the Book of Esther 6 (Otzar Midrashim: Midrash on the Book of Esther) — conduit: medieval retranslation. 'Mordecai awoke from his sleep and wrote that dream... and kept the matter and sealed this secret' matches the plus's Mordecai waking, keeping the dream in his heart, and seeking to understand it. - [Flagged] Esther Rabbah 8:5 (Esther Rabbah) — conduit: medieval retranslation. 'וינצר מרדכי את החלום אשר חלם' shares the specific act of Mordecai guarding/keeping the dream after waking, a detail with no MT basis, though shorter than the surrounding verbatim clauses. - [Motif] Rashi on Esther 4:1:1 (Rashi on Esther) — conduit: lost intermediary. Rashi's 'master of the dream' telling Mordecai the heavenly court consented to the decree is the same device as Addition A's dream: private, prophetic disclosure of God's resolve, absent from MT. - [Flagged] Targum Sheni on Esther 6:1:1 (Targum Sheni on Esther) — conduit: Aramaic. 'The Revealer of secrets revealed to Mordecai this secret, that a decree of death had been decreed against Israel' is a distinct clause supplying Mordecai a mode of privileged foreknowledge matching the dream's revelation of what God resolved to do. - [Motif] Aramaic Targum to Esther 4:1 (Aramaic Targum to Esther (Targum Rishon)) — conduit: Aramaic. Mordecai's private revelation through Elijah that Israel was sentenced to destruction is the same device as the dream: God's resolve disclosed to him alone, ahead of events. - [Flagged] Aramaic Targum to Esther 6:1 (Aramaic Targum to Esther (Targum Rishon)) — conduit: Aramaic. The night-midrash's Revealer of secrets disclosing the death decree to Mordecai, in a paragraph that also notes dreams were revealed that night, closely parallels the dream's disclosure of God's resolve.
