2 sprach der König zu Esther auch des andern Tages, da er Wein getrunken hatte: Was bittest du, Königin Esther, daß man's dir gebe? Und was forderst du? Auch das halbe Königreich, es soll geschehen.
2
and as they were drinking wine on the second day, the king again asked, “Queen Esther, what is your petition? It will be given you. What is your request? Even up to half the kingdom, it will be granted.”
