OET (OET-LV) And_she_was_good the_young_woman in_his_of_eyes and_she_bore favour before_him and_he_hastened DOM cleansings_of_her and_DOM portions_of_her to_give to/for_her/it and_DOM seven the_servant_girls (the)_chosen to_give to/for_her/it from_the_house_of the_king and_he_moved_her and_DOM girls_of_her_servant to_the_good_place_of the_house_of the_women.

OET (OET-RV) Hegai was very impressed with Esther, and he treated her favourably. He quickly arranged for Esther to receive her beauty treatments and her allotment of food, as well as choosing seven female servants from the king’s palace and assigning them to be her personal attendants. He also moved Esther and her attendants to the best rooms in the harem for virgins.

uW Translation Notes:

וַ⁠תִּיטַ֨ב הַ⁠נַּעֲרָ֣ה בְ⁠עֵינָי⁠ו֮ וַ⁠תִּשָּׂ֣א חֶ֣סֶד לְ⁠פָנָי⁠ו֒

and,she_was_good the_young,woman in,his_of,eyes and,she_bore favour before,,him

This means that Hegai found Esther attractive, and she obtained kindness from him or that Hegai was very impressed with Esther, and she won his favor. In other words, because he was so impressed with her, this made him want to do everything he could to help her. This is background information that explains why Hegai took the actions that are listed next.

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

וַ⁠תִּיטַ֨ב הַ⁠נַּעֲרָ֣ה בְ⁠עֵינָי⁠ו֮

and,she_was_good the_young,woman in,his_of,eyes

Here, eyes represent seeing, and seeing is a metaphor for knowledge, notice, attention, or judgment. In this context, the phrase probably means that Hegai thought that Esther was either an attractive woman or a pleasant person, or both.

הַ⁠נַּעֲרָ֣ה

the_young,woman

This means Esther. You should make sure that this is clear in your translation.

בְ⁠עֵינָי⁠ו֮

in,his_of,eyes

Here, his refers to Hegai. You should make sure that this clear in your translation.

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

וַ⁠תִּשָּׂ֣א חֶ֣סֶד לְ⁠פָנָי⁠ו֒

and,she_bore favour before,,him

Here, face represents the presence of a person. To say that she “lifted kindness before his face” is a rare expression in Hebrew, and the exact meaning is uncertain. In this context, it could even suggest that Esther and Hegai became friends. Alternate translation: [she won his favor]

לְ⁠פָנָי⁠ו֒

before,,him

Here, his refers to Hegai. You should make sure that this clear in your translation.

Note 3 topic: translate-unknown

אֶת־תַּמְרוּקֶ֤י⁠הָ

DOM cleansings_of,her

Alternate translation: [her beauty treatments,] as in [2:3](../02/03.md).

וְ⁠אֶת־מָנוֹתֶ֨⁠הָ֙

and=DOM portions_of,her

In context, this likely means that Hegai made sure that Esther was served good food that would keep her healthy.

שֶׁ֣בַע הַ⁠נְּעָר֔וֹת הָ⁠רְאֻי֥וֹת לָֽ⁠תֶת־לָ֖⁠הּ מִ⁠בֵּ֣ית הַ⁠מֶּ֑לֶךְ

seven the_servant,girls (the),chosen to,give to/for=her/it from,the_house_of the=king

This means that Hegai chose seven female servants from the king’s palace and assigned them to take care of Esther.

וַ⁠יְשַׁנֶּ֧⁠הָ וְ⁠אֶת־נַעֲרוֹתֶ֛י⁠הָ

and,he,moved_her and=DOM girls_of,her_servant

Her means Esther, and her young women means the female attendants Hegai assigned to her.

TSN Tyndale Study Notes:

2:9 ordered a special menu . . . beauty treatments: Hegai knew the king’s taste and singled out the best prospects for special attention.
• Hegai assigned seven of the best assistants to Esther, indicating that he thought she was one of the very best candidates for becoming the queen.

OET (OET-LV) And_she_was_good the_young_woman in_his_of_eyes and_she_bore favour before_him and_he_hastened DOM cleansings_of_her and_DOM portions_of_her to_give to/for_her/it and_DOM seven the_servant_girls (the)_chosen to_give to/for_her/it from_the_house_of the_king and_he_moved_her and_DOM girls_of_her_servant to_the_good_place_of the_house_of the_women.

OET (OET-RV) Hegai was very impressed with Esther, and he treated her favourably. He quickly arranged for Esther to receive her beauty treatments and her allotment of food, as well as choosing seven female servants from the king’s palace and assigning them to be her personal attendants. He also moved Esther and her attendants to the best rooms in the harem for virgins.

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.

Acknowledgements: The Hebrew text, lemmas, and morphology are all thanks to the OSHB and some of the glosses are from Macula Hebrew.OET logo mark
