Esth 5:1 · Douay-Rheims
“And on the third day Esther put on her royal apparel, and stood in the inner court of the king’s house, over against the king’s hall: now he sat upon his throne in the hall of the palace, over against the door of the house.”
On this verse:
“regally regal clothing. But our Sages said (Meg. 15a) that divine inspiration enwrapped her, as it is said (I Chron. 12:18): “And a spirit enwrapped Amasai.””
