5There was in Shushan the fortress a certain JewH3064, whose nameH8034 was MordecaiH4782, the sonH1121 of JairH2971, the sonH1121 of ShimeiH8096, the sonH1121 of KishH7027, a Benjaminite,

6who had been carried away from JerusalemH3389 with the captives who had been carried away with JeconiahH3204 kingH4428 of JudahH3063, whom NebuchadnezzarH5019 the kingH4428 of BabylonH894 had carried away.

7And he brought up Hadassah, that is, EstherH635, his uncle's daughterH1323; for she had neither fatherH1 nor motherH517 — and the maiden was fair and beautifulH3303 — and when her fatherH1 and motherH517 wereH1961 dead, MordecaiH4782 tookH3947 her for his own daughterH1323.
