Esther 4:17

Context

4:17 So Mordecai set out to do everything that Esther had instructed him.

1 tn Heb “the silver is given to you”; NRSV “the money is given to you”; CEV “You can keep their money.” C. A. Moore (Esther [AB], 40) understands these words somewhat differently, taking them to imply acceptance of the money on Xerxes’ part. He translates, “Well, it’s your money.”

2 tn Heb “according to what is good in your eyes”; NASB “do with them as you please.”
