אֵ֣ין אֶסְתֵּ֗ר מַגֶּ֤דֶת מֽוֹלַדְתָּהּ֙ וְאֶת־עַמָּ֔הּ כַּאֲשֶׁ֛ר צִוָּ֥ה עָלֶ֖יהָ מָרְדֳּכָ֑י וְאֶת־מַאֲמַ֤ר מָרְדֳּכַי֙ אֶסְתֵּ֣ר עֹשָׂ֔ה כַּאֲשֶׁ֛ר הָיְתָ֥ה בְאָמְנָ֖ה אִתּֽוֹ׃ (ס)
Hindi pa rin ipinaaalam ni Ester ang kanyang angkan at ang kanyang bayan, gaya ng iniutos sa kanya ni Mordecai; at sinusunod ni Ester ang utos ni Mordecai, gaya noong siya ay pinalalaki pa niya.
Rashi
