Esther 2:7 in Context — Esther 2

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.

8 Sucedeu pois, que quando se divulgou o mandamento do rei e seu lei, e sendo reunidas muitas moças na fortaleza de Susã, ao cuidado de Hegai, também levaram Ester para casa do rei, ao cuidado de Hegai, vigilante das mulheres.

9 E a moça foi do agrado de seus olhos, e alcançou favor diante dele; por isso ele se apressou em [lhe dar] seus enfeites e suas porções de alimento, dando-lhe também sete moças escolhidas da casa do rei; e ele a passou com suas moças ao melhor [lugar] da casa das mulheres.
