Bible Question:
when and where was Esther born? |
Bible Answer: Brooklyn, Welcome to the forum! The entry about Esther doesnt mentioned date of her birthdate but her book took place 465 B.C. so if we analyze the she could be born betwenn 520 B.C. or depend on how old she was when they co authored her book with her cousin mordecai Esther the queen of Ahasuerus, and heroine of the book that bears her name. She was a Jewess named Hadas'sah (the myrtle), but when she entered the royal harem she received the name by which she henceforth became known (Es 2:7). It is a Syro-Arabian modification of the Persian word satarah, which means a star. She was the daughter of Abihail, a Benjamite. Her family did not avail themselves of the permission granted by Cyrus to the exiles to return to Jerusalem; and she resided with her cousin Mordecai, who held some office in the household of the Persian king at "Shushan in the palace." |
