¹² Esther’s ·message [^Lwords] was given to Mordecai. ¹³ Then Mordecai sent back ·word [this answer/reply] to Esther: “Just because you ·live in [are part of] the king’s ·palace [^Lhouse], don’t ·think [imagine] that out of all the Jews you alone will escape. ¹⁴ If you keep ·quiet [silent] at this time, ·someone else will help and save the Jews [liberation/relief and protection/deliverance for the Jews will arise/appear from another place], but you and your ·father’s family [relatives] will all die. And who knows, you may have ·been chosen queen [come to your royal position; ^Lcome to the kingdom] for just such a time as this.”
