B. Swete, The Old Testament in Greek, 19.10.1-10 GREEK: τὸ δὲ ἔθνος τὸ ἐμόν, οὗτός ἐστιν Ἰσραήλ, οἱ βοήσαντες πρὸς τὸν θεὸν καὶ σωθέντες. ENGLISH (draft-awaiting-approval): and my nation, this is Israel, who cried out to God and were saved. 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. The small, despised nation delivered by God's storm after Mordecai's weeping and prayer matches the plus's identification of 'my nation' as Israel, who cried out to God and were saved. - [Verbatim] Tosefet le-Esther, פתרון החלום (Tosefet le-Esther (he.wikisource editorial page: Additions to Esther in Hebrew)) — conduit: medieval retranslation. 'ועם הישרים הוא ישראל' directly renders Addition F's 'my nation, this is Israel,' the dream-decoding device absent from MT. - [Flagged] Sifrei Aggadah on Esther, Midrash Abba Guryon 5:1 (Sifrei Aggadah on Esther: Midrash Abba Guryon) — conduit: lost intermediary. Both relocate the cause of rescue from Esther's diplomacy to the outcry of the people/children, matching Addition F's interpretive key 'my nation, this is Israel, who cried out to God and were saved,' against MT. - [Verbatim] Esther Rabbah 8:5 (Esther Rabbah) — conduit: medieval retranslation. 'ויזעקו אל ה'' directly renders 'ἐβόησαν πρὸς τὸν θεόν' (cried out to God) — the same clause independently supports Addition F's later recap that 'my nation... cried out to God and were saved.' - [Flagged] Sifrei Aggadah on Esther, Midrash Panim Acherim, Version II 6:5 (Sifrei Aggadah on Esther: Midrash Panim Acherim, Version II) — conduit: lost intermediary. The full witness text (assembly weeping and eulogizing, 'and God heard their prayer and Mordecai's prayer') matches the plus's 'my nation is Israel, who cried out to God and were saved' precisely -- crying out and being saved. - [Motif] Aramaic Targum to Esther 5:14 (Aramaic Targum to Esther (Targum Rishon)) — conduit: Aramaic. 'They poured out their hearts... he heard the voice of their prayer and granted their request that night' matches Addition F's gloss that Israel is the nation that cried out to God and was saved. - [Flagged] Yalkut Shimoni on Nach 1057:2 (Yalkut Shimoni on Esther (Remez 1046-1061)) — conduit: lost intermediary. The fasting children cry out, are heard, and the decree is torn up — matching the plus's 'my nation is Israel, who cried out to God and were saved'; not MT material. - [Flagged] Yalkut Shimoni on Nach 1056:4 (Yalkut Shimoni on Esther (Remez 1046-1061)) — conduit: medieval retranslation. 'ויצר לגוי הקטן מאד ויצעק אל ה'... ויתרומם הגוי הקטן' matches the plus's 'my nation is Israel, who cried out to God and were saved'; not MT material.
