Esther 2:12 in Context — Esther 2
10 Esther ne fit connaître ni son peuple ni sa naissance, car Mardochée lui avait défendu d’en parler.
11 Et chaque jour Mardochée allait et venait devant la cour de la maison des femmes, pour savoir comment se portait Esther et comment on la traitait.
12 Chaque jeune fille allait à son tour vers le roi Assuérus, après avoir employé douze mois à s’acquitter de ce qui était prescrit aux femmes; pendant ce temps, elles prenaient soin de leur toilette, six mois avec de l’huile de myrrhe, et six mois avec des aromates et des parfums en usage parmi les femmes.
13 C’est ainsi que chaque jeune fille allait vers le roi; et, quand elle passait de la maison des femmes dans la maison du roi, on lui laissait prendre avec elle tout ce qu’elle voulait.
14 Elle y allait le soir; et le lendemain matin elle passait dans la seconde maison des femmes, sous la surveillance de Schaaschgaz, eunuque du roi et gardien des concubines. Elle ne retournait plus vers le roi, à moins que le roi n’en eût le désir et qu’elle ne fût appelée par son nom.
