#mordecai — Public Fediverse posts

The time #Haman had determined by lot became a reversal: the enemies of the #Jewish people would themselves be overcome in a great slaughter.

#Mordecai would be elevated as second to the king; #Esther would decree for Israel to observe the feast of #Purim ("lots") in perpetuity.

Esther's uncle was a descendant of Kish named #Mordecai. Mordecai annoyed a royal official called #Haman the Agagite.

Haman decided he would instigate genocide against the Jewish people in the #Persian Empire. He determined when he would propose an attack by casting lots. #Xerxes approved his scheme.

Mordecai sent word to #Esther regarding the danger. She should not expect to avoid the fate of her people. Perhaps she had been elevated to the throne for this purpose.
