Pinalaki niya si Hadasa, na siya ring si Ester, ang anak ng kanyang tiyuhin, sapagkat wala na itong ama at ina. Ang dalaga ay maganda ang hubog at kaaya-aya ang anyo. Nang mamatay ang kanyang ama at ina, kinupkop siya ni Mordecai bilang sariling anak.
Zohar
{Elijah} opened and said, 'Faithful Shepherd, the Holy One, blessed be He gave this bride of yours, [ this refers to Malchut/Kingship] to Abraham to bring up for you. And since he kept her she is called his daughter. This is what is meant by the saying that Abraham had a daughter whose name was 'Bakol (Eng. 'in all')'. By her he observed the whole Torah even the Eruv Tavshilin (an action allowing one to cook on holiday for Shabbat). This is the meaning of, "and kept My charge" (Genesis 26:5). And he brought her up, as written, "And he brought up Hadassa" (Esther 2:7). And the Holy One, blessed be He, blessed him for her sake, as it is written, "and Hashem had blessed Abraham in all things (בַּכֹּל)" (Genesis 24:1). He brought her up with every good virtue and was charitable to her. He raised her to greatness, with the quality of kindness (Chesed) of Abraham. His house was, for her sake, wide open to do kindness to all the people of the world.
