- जब एक-एक कन्या की बारी आई, कि वह क्षयर्ष राजा के पास जाए, और यह उस समय हुआ जब उसके साथ स्त्रियों के लिये ठहराए हुए नियम के अनुसार बारह माह तक व्यवहार किया गया था; अर्थात् उनके शुद्ध करने के दिन इस रीति से बीत गए, कि छः माह तक गन्धरस का तेल लगाया जाता था, और छः माह तक सुगन्ध-द्रव्य, और स्त्रियों के शुद्ध करने का अन्य सामान लगाया जाता था।
In context
10Esther had not made known her people nor her relatives, because Mordecai had instructed her that she should not make it known.
11Mordecai walked every day in front of the court of the women’s house, to find out how Esther was doing, and what would become of her.
12Each young woman’s turn came to go in to King Ahasuerus after her purification for twelve months (for so were the days of their purification accomplished, six months with oil of myrrh, and six months with sweet fragrances and with preparations for beautifying women).
13The young woman then came to the king like this: whatever she desired was given her to go with her out of the women’s house to the king’s house.
14In the evening she went, and on the next day she returned into the second women’s house, to the custody of Shaashgaz, the king’s eunuch, who kept the concubines. She came in to the king no more, unless the king delighted in her, and she was called by name.
