Esther (Greek) 2:13

¹¹But Mordecai used to walk every day by the women’s court, to see what would become of Esther.

¹²Now this was the time for a virgin to go in to the king, when she should have fulfilled twelve months; for so are the days of purification fulfilled, six months while they are anointing themselves with oil of myrrh, and six months with spices and women’s purifications.

— Esther (Greek) 2:13 —

¹⁴She enters in the evening, and in the morning she departs to the second women’s apartment, where Hegai the king’s chamberlain is keeper of the women: and she goes not in to the king again, unless she should be called by name.

¹⁵And when the time was fulfilled for Esther the daughter of Amminadab the brother of Mordecai’s father to go in to the king, she neglected nothing which the chamberlain, the women’s keeper, commanded; for Esther found grace in the sight of all that looked upon her.
