How was Esther brought up?
Answer
"He [Mordecai the Jew] brought up Hadassah, that is, Esther, his uncle's daughter. . . . when her father and
mother were dead." Esther 2: 7.
NOTE - Mordecai was a man who feared and served God, as is shown by his wise and courageous
counsel to Esther, and by his own righteous conduct when the lives of both were at stake in their efforts to
save the people of God from destruction while in captivity in Medo-Persia. He undoubtedly taught Esther
from childhood to fear and serve God. Otherwise she would not have met the crisis with such fearless
courage and such confidence in God.
