    What was the original Hebrew name of the Persian Jewish woman who in the Bible appears under a name that links her with a Babylonian fertility goddess?

    Question #80014. Asked by Flem-ish. (May 07 07 12:38 PM)


    Yaarbiriah

    		Hadassah. She was renamed Esther (Ishtar) when she became the queen and wife of Achashveros (Artaxerxes)
    Hadassah is related to Mordechai, of the house of Benjamin, and was fostered by Mordechai

    (Book of Esther)

    		And a very ironic book that "Book of Esther" seems to be.
