How the young Esther passed her time as she grew up, we can only guess, although it seems safe to say that she took good care of her older cousin and his home, which was likely situated in the humbler quarters across the river from the royal castle.
Tidak dapat dipastikan bagaimana Ester melewatkan masa mudanya, namun kelihatannya ia merawat sepupunya yang lebih tua itu dan mengurus rumah, yang kemungkinan besar terletak di kawasan yang lebih sederhana di seberang sungai dan istana.
