3:4And after they had spoken to him day after day6 without his paying any attention to them, they informed Haman to see whether this attitude on Mordecai’s part would be permitted.7 Furthermore, he had disclosed to them that he was a Jew.8
Footnotes
- 6 Mordecai’s position in the service of the king brought him into regular contact with these royal officials. Because of this association the officials would have found ample opportunity to complain of Mordecai’s refusal to honor Haman by bowing down before him.
- 7 Heb “Will the matters of Mordecai stand?”; “to see whether Mordecai’s reason would stand.”
- 8 This disclosure of Jewish identity is a reversal of the practice mentioned in 2:10, 20.
