📚 Contexto Histórico
In the Book of Esther, set during the Persian Empire under King Ahasuerus (likely Xerxes I), the story unfolds as the king seeks a new queen after deposing Vashti for her defiance. This verse refers to the second gathering of young women for the royal harem, with Esther, a Jewish orphan raised by her cousin Mordecai, already involved in the selection process. Mordecai's presence at the king's gate signifies his role as an official or gatekeeper, a common position in ancient Near Eastern courts that granted access to important information and influence.
