[(5:1AA)] And being splendidly arrayed, and having called upon God the Overseer and Preserver of all things, she took her two maids, and she leaned upon one, as a delicate female, and the other followed bearing her train. [(5:1BA)] And she was blooming in the perfection of her beauty; and her face was cheerful, and it were benevolent, but her heart was straitened for fear. [(5:1CA)] And having passed through all the doors, she stood before the king: and he was sitting upon his royal throne, and he had put on all his glorious apparel, covered all over with gold and precious stones, and was very terrible. [(5:1DA)] And having raised his face resplendent with glory, he looked with intense anger: and the queen fell, and changed her colour as she fainted; and she bowed herself upon the head of the maid that went before her. [(5:1EA)] But God changed the spirit of the king gentleness, and in intense feeling he sprang from off his throne, and took her into his arms, until she recovered: and he comforted her with peaceable words, and said to her, [(5:1FA)] What is the matter, Esther? I am thy brother; be of good cheer, thou shalt not die, for our command is openly declared to thee, Draw nigh.

1. (D:1) On the third day, putting an end to her prayers, she took off her penitential garments and arrayed herself in her royal attire. (D:2) In making her state appearance, after invoking the all-seeing God and savior, she took with her two maids; (D:3) on the one she leaned gently for support, (D:4) while the other followed her, bearing her train. (D:5) She glowed with the perfection of her beauty and her countenance was as joyous as it was lovely, though her heart was shrunk with fear. (D:6) She passed through all the portals till she stood face to face with the king, who was seated on his royal throne, clothed in full robes of state, and covered with gold and precious stones, so that he inspired great awe. (D:7) As he looked up, his features ablaze with the height of majestic anger, the queen staggered, changed color, and leaned weakly against the head of the maid in front of her. (D:8) But God changed the king's anger to gentleness. In great anxiety he sprang from his throne, held her in his arms until she recovered, and comforted her with reassuring words. (D:9) "What is it, Esther?" he said to her. "I am your brother. Take courage! (D:10) You shall not die because of this general decree of ours. (D:11) Come near!" (D:12) Raising the golden scepter, he touched her neck with it, embraced her, and said, "Speak to me." (D:13) She replied: "I saw you, my lord, as an angel of God, and my heart was troubled with fear of your majesty. (D:14) For you are awesome, my lord, though your glance is full of kindness." (D:15) As she said this, she fainted. (D:16) The king became troubled and all his attendants tried to revive her. [Now on the third day, Esther put on her royal garments and stood in the inner courtyard, looking toward the royal palace, while the king was seated on his royal throne in the audience chamber, facing the palace doorway.
