Queen Esther's parents are not recorded, and so her background is described in a similar way. Mordecai "brought up...Esther, his uncle's daughter: for she had neither father nor mother...whom Mordecai, when her father and mother were dead, took for his own daughter" (Esther 2:7).
Taarifa za wazazi wa Malikia Esta hazikuandikwa, kwa hiyo maisha yake ya nyuma yameelezewa kwa namna hii. Mordekai"alimlea …..Esta, binti wa mjomba wake: kwa kuwa hana Baba wala Mama …… nao walipokufa Baba na Mama yake, yule Mordeklai alimtwaa kuwa binti yake yeye"(Esta 2: 7).
