For Mordekai, jøden, var kun nest etter kong Ahasverus, og stor blant jødene og respektert av sine landsmenn; han arbeidet for sitt folks beste og talte fredens ord til hele sin slekt.
For Mordecai the Jew was second only to King Ahasuerus, and great among the Jews and respected by the body of his countrymen; working for the good of his people, and saying words of peace to all his seed.
