3 E o rei ponha comissários em todas as províncias de seu reino, para que juntem todas as moças virgens de boa aparência na fortaleza de Susã, na casa das mulheres, ao cuidado de Hegai, eunuco do rei, vigilante das mulheres; e sejam lhes dado seus enfeites;
4 E a moça que agradar aos olhos do rei, reine em lugar de Vasti.E isto foi do agrado dos olhos do rei, e ele assim fez.
5 Havia um homem judeu na fortaleza de Susã, cujo nome era Mardoqueu, filho de Jair, filho de Simei, filho de Quis, um homem da [linhagem] de Benjamim;
6 O qual tinha sido levado de Jerusalém com os cativos que foram levados com Jeconias rei de Judá, a quem Nabucodonosor, rei da Babilônia, havia levado.
7 E ele tinha criado a Hadassa, que é Ester, filha de seu tio, porque não tinha pai nem mãe; e ela tinha bela forma, e era linda de aparência; e como seu pai e sua mãe tinham morrido, Mardoqueu a havia tomado como sua filha.
