Then the king extended his golden scepter toward Esther. So Esther got up and stood before the king.

⚡ EN RESUMEN

The king is showing Esther that she has his permission to approach and speak with him safely.

📚 Historical Context

In ancient Persian courts, approaching the king without being summoned was punishable by death unless the king extended his golden scepter as a sign of favor and permission. This was Esther's second time risking her life to approach King Ahasuerus (Xerxes) uninvited, following her earlier successful plea that saved her people from Haman's plot to destroy all Jews in the Persian Empire.
