SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 8:1–17: Xerxes allowed the Jews to protect themselves

After Haman’s death, the king gave Esther everything that had belonged to Haman and made Mordecai the chief official in the land. Esther asked the king to cancel Haman’s order to kill the Jews. The king instead permitted her and Mordecai to send letters in his name allowing the Jews to defend themselves and kill their enemies. The news of this order brought great joy to the Jews.

8:4

The king extended the gold scepter toward Esther, and she arose and stood before the king.

extended the gold scepter: By doing this, the king was permitting Esther to speak.

the gold scepter: See note on 4:11b.

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: translate-symaction

וַ⁠יּ֤וֹשֶׁט הַ⁠מֶּ֨לֶךְ֙ לְ⁠אֶסְתֵּ֔ר אֵ֖ת שַׁרְבִ֣ט הַ⁠זָּהָ֑ב

(Some words not found in UHB: and,he_held_out the=king to,Esther DOM scepter_of the=gold and=she/it_arose ʼEştēr and,she_stood to=(the)_face_of/in_front_of/before the,king )

As in [5:2](../05/02.md), King Ahasuerus did this to show that Esther had his favor. In that earlier episode, this indicated that he would not enforce the law that said Esther should be executed for coming into the inner court without being summoned. But since Esther was apparently already in the king’s presence on this occasion, it seems that the gesture could also be used generally to show that the king was positively disposed towards a person and would grant the person’s request. Alternate translation: [the king held out his golden scepter to Esther]

Note 2 topic: translate-unknown

אֵ֖ת שַׁרְבִ֣ט הַ⁠זָּהָ֑ב

DOM (Some words not found in UHB: and,he_held_out the=king to,Esther DOM scepter_of the=gold and=she/it_arose ʼEştēr and,she_stood to=(the)_face_of/in_front_of/before the,king )

See how you translated this in [4:11](../04/11.md). If it would be helpful, review the explanation of what this object was. Alternate translation: [golden scepter]

וַ⁠תָּ֣קָם אֶסְתֵּ֔ר

(Some words not found in UHB: and,he_held_out the=king to,Esther DOM scepter_of the=gold and=she/it_arose ʼEştēr and,she_stood to=(the)_face_of/in_front_of/before the,king )

Alternate translation: [Esther got up off the floor]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

לִ⁠פְנֵ֥י הַ⁠מֶּֽלֶךְ

to=(the)_face_of/in_front_of/before (Some words not found in UHB: and,he_held_out the=king to,Esther DOM scepter_of the=gold and=she/it_arose ʼEştēr and,she_stood to=(the)_face_of/in_front_of/before the,king )

Here, face represents the front of a person, place, or object. This phrase means the Esther now stood facing King Ahasuerus. Alternate translation: [and stood facing the king]
