uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / 123person

וְ⁠הַֽ⁠נַּעֲרָ֗ה אֲשֶׁ֤ר תִּיטַב֙ בְּ⁠עֵינֵ֣י הַ⁠מֶּ֔לֶךְ

(Some words not found in UHB: and,the_young,woman which/who pleasing in/on=both_eyes_of the=king be_queen below/instead_of Vashti and,it_was_good the,word in/on=both_eyes_of the=king and=he/it_made yes/correct/thus/so )

The servants spoke to the king in third person as a sign of respect. You could express the same meaning in the second person by saying something such as “the young woman you like the best.”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

בְּ⁠עֵינֵ֣י

Here, eyes represent seeing, and seeing is a metaphor for knowledge, notice, attention, or judgment. The phrase means that King Ahasuerus could decide which young woman he liked the best and make her queen.

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

וַ⁠יִּיטַ֧ב הַ⁠דָּבָ֛ר בְּ⁠עֵינֵ֥י הַ⁠מֶּ֖לֶךְ

Here, eyes have the same figurative meaning. The phrase indicates that King Ahasuerus thought that this suggestion was a good idea. Alternate translation: [The king found their suggestion appealing]

וַ⁠יַּ֥עַשׂ כֵּֽן

Alternate translation: [so he followed the suggestion]

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
