SIL Translator’s Notes on Esther 1:7

1:7a

Beverages were served: The rest of the verse says that the beverages were wine. However, the text does not say who was serving the beverages. If your language has no passive, you may need to say something like: “The king’s servants served the beverages….”

goblets of gold: This word refers to specially designed and decorated cups.
