Esters Bog 10:1-3

Mordokajs eftermæle

1Kong Xerxes udskrev skat ud over hele sit rige helt ud til de fjerneste kyster. 2Alle hans bedrifter står optegnet i det medisk-persiske riges krønikebog, som også indeholder en skildring af Mordokajs betydning og den magt, som kongen gav ham. 3Mordokaj blev altså rigets premierminister og kong Xerxes’ højre hånd. Blandt jøderne fik han stor indflydelse, og han var højt respekteret af dem, fordi han altid talte deres sag og gjorde meget for at sikre deres efterkommeres fremtid.

Esther 10:1-3

The greatness of Mordecai

1King Xerxes imposed tribute throughout the empire, to its distant shores. 2And all his acts of power and might, together with a full account of the greatness of Mordecai, whom the king had promoted, are they not written in the book of the annals of the kings of Media and Persia? 3Mordecai the Jew was second in rank to King Xerxes, pre-eminent among the Jews, and held in high esteem by his many fellow Jews, because he worked for the good of his people and spoke up for the welfare of all the Jews.
