A:Esther 2:12 says that Esther was six months with oil of myrrh and six months with sweet odours. More than this we could not say. It must be remembered, as for example Leonard J Greenspoon says (The Oxford History of the Biblical World, Between Alexandria and Antioch: Jews and Judaism in the Hellenistic Period), the Book of Esther was a novel. Historians know that there was no Queen Esther in the Persian Empire.

Which book in the Bible tells the story of a girl who becomes Queen of Persia?

A:Over the centuries, there have been many Persian queens. For example, King Xerxes was married to Queen Amestris for at least the first several years of his reign. On the other hand, the Book of Esther says that he was married to Queen Vashti for the first three years of his reign and then Queen Esther. In real life, these marriages never actually took place, because there was never either a Queen Vashti nor a Queen Esther of Persia. Scholars say that the Book of Esther was a second-century-BCE Jewish novel.

What were the true stories of Queen Vashti and Queen Esther?

According to the Tanakh and Jewish tradition, Esther was the heroine and central figure in the Biblical book of Esther. She was a beautiful Jewish woman, who became the wife of the Persian king Ahasuerus (Xerxes I) several decades after the destruction of the First Temple. She and her cousin Mordecai (who once saved the king's life) persuaded the king to cancel an order for the extermination of the Jews in his vast realm, plotted by the king's chief minister, Haman. Instead, Haman was hanged on the gallows he had built for Mordecai, and the Jews were given permission to destroy their enemies. The Jewish festival of Purim celebrates this event. According to tradition, the book of Esther was written in the mid-4th century BCE while the last prophets were still alive (Haggai, Zechariah and Malachi), and was part of the canon which was sealed not long after.Additional facts: Esther was a Jewess, who lived during the Babylonian exile. When Esther was orphaned, she was then adopted by her cousin Mordecai, who became her foster father. When Queen Vashti refused to go to Ahasuerus (in Chapter 1), Memucan, a Persian royal advisor, advised King Ahasuerus to remove Vashti from being Queen of Persia, and King Ahasuerus agreed to his advice. In Esther Chapter 2, royal eunuchs advised Ahasuerus to look for a new queen, a virgin. Esther was the best-looking one, and Ahasuerus picked her to replace Vashti.According to Jewish tradition, Esther was queen for about 11 years.The name of Mordechai is considered identical to the name Marduka, which is attested as the name of officials in the Persian court in the Persepolis Texts from the period of Xerxes I. One of these officials might very well be the biblical Mordecai.The grave of Mordecai and Esther still stands in Hamadan; and the Jews of Iran, to this day, are referred to as "the children of Esther."For the name of Esther, a number of etymologies are possible.1) Esther comes from the Persian "setareh," meaning "star".2) Esther comes from the Aramaic "istahar," meaning "moon." Beautiful as the moon (Talmud, Megillah 13a).3) Esther comes from the Semitic root aθtar (ath-tar), "morning star." There is support for this too in the Talmud (Yoma 29a).4) Esther comes from the Median "astra," meaning "myrtle." The book of Esther (2:7) states that she had both names, Esther and Myrtle (Hadassah in Hebrew).


What is one quality of Esther Queen of Persia?

The story of Esther holds a very important role in the teachings of Judaism. Contrary to what many people mistakenly believe, she was not the most beautiful woman, rather, the reason she was chosen by King Achashveros was because of her modesty. The king provided the best of garments, jewels, perfumes, etc to the women participating in the beauty contest, however, Esther eschewed these gifts and chose to dress very modestly without jewels, etc. In all of her actions, Esther was motivated by pure love for both HaShem (The Creator) and her fellow Jews. Despite her situation (thinking she was going to lose her place in the world to come), she never lost faith or hope. Esther had a pure mind.


Whom did Esther marry?

In 478 B.C., Esther became the queen of Persia. Previously, she was a member of the harem of the Persian king Ahasuerus, who was also known as King Xerxes. But when the former queen, Vashti, fell into disfavor with her husband, Ahasuerus, the king chose Esther to be his wife and queen.
