כִּ֣י אִם־הַחֲרֵ֣שׁ תַּחֲרִישִׁי֮ בָּעֵ֣ת הַזֹּאת֒ רֶ֣וַח וְהַצָּלָ֞ה יַעֲמ֤וֹד לַיְּהוּדִים֙ מִמָּק֣וֹם אַחֵ֔ר וְאַ֥תְּ וּבֵית־אָבִ֖יךְ תֹּאבֵ֑דוּ וּמִ֣י יוֹדֵ֔עַ אִם־לְעֵ֣ת כָּזֹ֔את הִגַּ֖עַתְּ לַמַּלְכֽוּת׃
Sebab jika engkau benar-benar berdiam diri pada waktu ini, kelegaan dan keselamatan akan datang bagi orang Yahudi dari tempat lain, tetapi engkau dan keluarga ayahmu akan binasa. Siapa tahu, mungkin justru untuk saat seperti inilah engkau sampai pada kedudukan ratu.”
Rashi
Who knows whether, at this time next year, you will retain your royal position. [I.e.,] “And who knows whether the king will desire you next year, which is the time of the massacre.”6I.e., who knows whether you will be spared from the decree.
Rashi
At this time next year. For he was presently in Nisan, and the time of the massacre was in Adar of the next year.
Rashi
You will retain your royal position. If you will attain the greatness which you now enjoy.
