Esther 5:1
וַיְהִ֣י ׀ בַּיּ֣וֹם הַשְּׁלִישִׁ֗י וַתִּלְבַּ֤שׁ אֶסְתֵּר֙ מַלְכ֔וּת וַֽתַּעֲמֹ֞ד בַּחֲצַ֤ר בֵּית־הַמֶּ֙לֶךְ֙ הַפְּנִימִ֔ית נֹ֖כַח בֵּ֣ית הַמֶּ֑לֶךְ וְ֠הַמֶּ֠לֶךְ יוֹשֵׁ֞ב עַל־כִּסֵּ֤א מַלְכוּתוֹ֙ בְּבֵ֣ית הַמַּלְכ֔וּת נֹ֖כַח פֶּ֥תַח הַבָּֽיִת׃
Here the Greek inserts Addition D: Esther before the king. Its units:
- D 1 — On the third day, Esther exchanges her mourning clothes for royal splendor.
- D 2 — Radiant, calling on God, she takes her two maids to lean on.
- D 3 — She blushes with beauty, her face joyful though her heart is gripped by fear.
- D 4 — She passes through every door and stands before the enthroned, splendidly clothed king.
- D 5 — The king's face burns with anger at the sight of her; she collapses in a faint.
- D 6 — God turns the king's anger to gentleness; he catches her and reassures her, 'you shall not die.'
