How many times in the OT Book of Esther is God called by one of his many names?

Answer 1

Ha! Trick question: The answer is 0.

Nowhere in the book of Esther is any name for God used. When they were translating the septuagint, some of the translators noticed that and tried to fit it in, but no. It's the only book of the Bible that has no mention of any name of God.

Do I get 10 points??? :)

Answer 2

All of the NT Books except John's Gospel and letters, and the Apocalypse, are quoted by Clement of Rome around 80-90 AD. There are second century papyri of John’s Gospel and of Revelation. The ancient NT existed as codices (like Books) but were separated into parts: Gospels, Acts + the general epistles, Pauline corpus (w/Hebrews), and Apocalypse. We have 60 papyri that date from before Diocletian (303AD). These represent every NT book except 1 & 2 Timothy and 2 & 3 John. While most of these papyri are fragmentary there is far more than enough extant text to represent a solid random sampling that is statistically representative for collation with later (post-Diocletian) manuscripts that are complete (e.g. Vatican 1209 and Sinaitic). The NT cannon was pretty much set by 170 AD in the Muratorian fragment (which omits Hebrews and James) and was complete by the time of Origin in 230 AD. As for the OT. The Dead Sea Scrolls contain 200 Biblical scrolls representing every OT Book except Esther. Hope this is helpful. Email me if you have more questions on sources cited.

Answer 3

God is never mentioned in Esther

Answer 4

When the OT was written the Jews were still infuenced by the Egyptians. Horus is the Sun God and you can start adding names from that. They all have the same astrological origins.
