Despite this—or perhaps because of the large numbers of scrolls of Esther that have been written, and the special attention that has therefore been paid to the problem by rabbis and scribes—manuscripts of Esther and opinions about how they should be written betray a relatively large number of discrepancies regarding the parashah divisions.
Meskipun demikian—atau mungkin karena banyaknya gulungan Kitab Ester yang telah dibuat, dan perhatian khusus yang karenanya diberikan pada masalah-masalah itu oleh para rabbi dan juru tulis—naskah-naskah Kitab Ester dan opini bagaimana seharusnya gulungan itu ditulis mengangkat relatif banyaknya diskrepansi mengenai pembagian parashah.
