Esther 2:7King James 3 - The Literal TraslationAnd he was supporting Hadassah (she is Esther) his uncle’s daughter, for there was not father or mother to her. And the young woman was fair of appearance and good of form. And at the death of her father and mother, Mordecai took her for his daughter. See the chapter |
And when the turn of Esther had come (she being the daughter of Abihail, Mordecai’s uncle, whom he had taken to himself for his daughter) to go in to the king, she did not seek a thing except what Hegai the king’s eunuch, the keeper of the women, said. And Esther was rising in favor in the eyes of all who looked on her.
