Greek Esther 2:11-13

Common English Bible

¹¹ Each day Mordecai walked back and forth along the wall in front of the women’s house to learn how Esther was doing.

¹² According to the rules for women, there were twelve months of preparation before the time arrived for each young woman to see the king. She had six months of rubbing treatment with oil from myrrh and six months with fragrant oils and cosmetics. ¹³ So this is how the young woman would go to the king: They gave her anything that she asked to take with her from the women’s house to the palace.
