Footnote

“But all this​—⁠none of it suits me.” Heb., wekhol-zeHʹ ʼeh·nenʹnU sho·weHʹ lI. Here U corresponds to W and I corresponds to Y. This appears to be the third ­acrostic of the Tetragrammaton, יהוה (YHWH), in Esther. Three ancient Heb. mss are known that give the Heb. letters of the divine name, יהוה, here spelled backward, in acrostic in majuscule letters, as follows: יל השו ואיננ הוכל־ז. The Masorah in a rubric, or in red letters, calls attention to this. See vs 4 and 1:20 ftns.
