And when these days were completed, the king gave for all the people present in Susa the citadel, both great and small, a feast lasting for seven days in the court of the garden of the king’s palace. There were white cotton curtains and violet hangings fastened with cords of fine linen and purple to silver rods and marble pillars, and also couches of gold and silver on a mosaic pavement of porphyry, marble, mother-of-pearl, and precious stones.
– Esther 1:5-6 (English Standard Version)
這些日子滿了,王又為所有住書珊城堡的百姓,無論大小,在御花園的院子裏擺設宴席七日。院子裏有白色棉和藍色線,用細麻繩、紫色繩繫在白玉石柱的銀環上,又有金銀的床榻擺在紅、白、黃、黑大理石鑲嵌的地上。
