Nueva Biblia Viva (NBV)

Antes de ser llevadas a la presencia del rey, cada muchacha debía recibir seis meses de tratamiento de belleza con aceite de mirra, seguido por otros seis meses de tratamiento con perfumes y cosméticos femeninos. Cuando a una muchacha le tocaba ir a pasar la noche con el rey Asuero, se le daban a elegir los vestidos y joyas que deseara, para realzar su belleza. La llevaban entonces a los aposentos del rey en la tarde y a la mañana siguiente regresaba a una segunda casa, donde vivían las concubinas del rey. Allí quedaba por el resto de su vida al cuidado de Sasgaz, que era otro de los hombres de confianza del rey. Tan sólo podía regresar al palacio si el rey la deseaba y la mandaba a llamar.
