## In Jewish tradition

In Isaiah, faithful witnesses record the prophet's words. In Ezra, a record is found in a roll in the palace of Media. In Esther, the king reads the book of records of the chronicles.

**Interpretation.** The tradition reads Ezra and Esther as showing that written records can protect God's people, as in Esther where the record of Mordecai's good deed brings his honour.
