Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / hendiadys

וַ⁠תַּ֥עַן & וַ⁠תֹּאמַ֑ר

and,answered & and=she/it_said

Here a single idea is being expressed by using two words connected with “and.” Together the two words mean that Esther responded to the question that the king asked her. Alternate translation: “answered” or “replied”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / doublet

שְׁאֵלָתִ֖⁠י וּ⁠בַקָּשָׁתִֽ⁠י

petition,my and,request,my

The words petition and request mean the same thing. Esther probably used these words together as a way of speaking very formally and respectfully to the king. Alternate translation: “this is what I want”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

שְׁאֵלָתִ֖⁠י וּ⁠בַקָּשָׁתִֽ⁠י

petition,my and,request,my

The two abstract nouns petition and request can be expressed with a single phrase using the verb “want.” Alternate translation: “this is what I want”
