Places
Persia in Esther 10
PER-zhuh
This place shows up in Esther 10:2: “All the acts of his power and of his might, and the full account of the greatness of Mordecai, to which the king advanced him, aren’t they…” The Bible is not talking about a sticker. It is talking about a real place in a real place.
Esther 10:2
“All the acts of his power and of his might, and the full account of the greatness of Mordecai, to which the king advanced him, aren’t they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Media and Persia?”
What kids can learn
