| NET Notes |
1 sn 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. 2 tn Heb “Will the matters of Mordecai stand?”; NASB “to see whether Mordecai’s reason would stand.” 3 sn This disclosure of Jewish identity is a reversal of the practice mentioned in 1:10, 20. |
