Esther 2:10-12

Evangelical Heritage Version

¹⁰ Esther had not revealed her nationality or her family background because Mordecai had told her not to do so.

¹¹ Every day Mordecai walked back and forth in front of the harem, to learn about Esther’s well-being and about what was going to be done with her.

¹² Every young woman received a turn to go to King Xerxes after she had received the prescribed twelve months of beauty treatments. For six months they used oil of myrrh; for six months perfumes and other beauty treatments for women.
