Esther had not yet shewed her kindred nor her people; as Mordecai had charged her: for Esther did the commandment of Mordecai, like as when she was brought up with him.

The verse 20 is found in chapter 2 of Esther. Mordecai continues near the king's gate, and Esther keeps her family relationship and origin secret, obeying his instruction. The repetition of this secret gains narrative importance: Esther's identity is present throughout the story even though it cannot yet be publicly revealed.

Und Esther hatte noch nicht angesagt ihre Freundschaft noch ihr Volk, wie ihr Mardochai geboten hatte; denn Esther tat nach den Worten Mardochais, gleich als da er ihr Vormund war.
Y Esther, según le tenía mandado Mardochêo, no había declarado su nación ni su pueblo; porque Esther hacía lo que decía Mardochêo, como cuando con él se educaba.
Ester no revelaba su origen familiar ni su pueblo, tal como Mardoqueo le había mandado. Ester obedecía lo que Mardoqueo decía, como cuando él la criaba.
Esther n'avait fait connaître ni sa naissance ni son peuple, car Mardochée le lui avait défendu, et elle suivait les ordres de Mardochée aussi fidèlement qu'à l'époque où elle était sous sa tutelle.
Ester non dichiarò il suo parentado, nè il suo popolo, secondo che Mardocheo le avea divietato; ed ella faceva ciò che Mardocheo diceva, come quando era allevata appresso di lui
Ester, porém, não declarava a sua parentela e o seu povo, como Mardoqueu lhe ordenara; porque Ester cumpria o mandado de Mardoqueu, como quando a criara.
