Esther 2:8
"He brought up Hadassah, that is, Esther, his uncle’s daughter; for she had neither father nor mother. The maiden was fair and beautiful; and when her father and mother were dead, Mordecai took her for his own daughter."
Key Reflection
This passage highlights the orphaned state of Esther, emphasizing her vulnerability and dependence on Mordecai's care. By taking her in as his own daughter, Mordecai not only provides a sense of family but also positions Esther within the royal household, setting the stage for her eventual role in saving the Jewish people from persecution.
