Mordecai adopted Esther as his daughter after her parents died, but how were they originally related?
 | She was his niece |
| She was his next-door neighbor |
| She was his cousin |
And Mordecai had brought up Hadassah, that is, Esther, his uncle’s daughter, for she had neither father nor mother. The young woman was lovely and beautiful. When her father and mother died, Mordecai took her as his own daughter.
