Esther 2:7 - Additional Comments

At the beginning of the Book of Esther, Esther is a young virgin. In those days, this quite likely meant not much more than 14 years old! And given the chronology of the story, she was likely less than age 20 even by the end of the story. Note that she also is an orphan, and her uncle has raised her.
