Esther had not revealed her nationality and family background, because Mordecai had forbidden her to do so.

Esther hadn’t told anyone who her people were. She hadn’t talked about her family. That’s because Mordecai had told her not to.

Esther had not made known her people or kindred, for Mordecai had commanded her not to make it known.

Esther did not reveal her ethnicity or her family background, because Mordecai had ordered her not to make them known.

Esther did not reveal her people or her kindred, because Mordecai had instructed her that she was not to reveal them.

Esther had not revealed her people or family, for Mordecai had charged her not to reveal it.

Esther had not made known her people nor her kindred; for Mordecai had charged her that she should not make it known.

Esther did not reveal her ethnic background or her birthplace, because Mordecai had ordered her not to.

Esther had not shewed her people nor her kindred: for Mordecai had charged her that she should not shew[ it].

Now Esther had not disclosed her people or her lineage, for Mordecai had instructed her not to do so.

Esther had not made known her people nor her relatives, because Mordecai had instructed her that she should not make it known.

“ Look, I am sending you out as sheep among wolves. So be as shrewd as snakes and harmless as doves.

Esther continued to keep her family background and nationality a secret. She was still following Mordecai’s directions, just as she did when she lived in his home.

Mordecai sent this reply to Esther:“ Don’t think for a moment that because you’re in the palace you will escape when all other Jews are killed.If you keep quiet at a time like this, deliverance and relief for the Jews will arise from some other place, but you and your relatives will die. Who knows if perhaps you were made queen for just such a time as this?”

Then Haman approached King Xerxes and said,“ There is a certain race of people scattered through all the provinces of your empire who keep themselves separate from everyone else. Their laws are different from those of any other people, and they refuse to obey the laws of the king. So it is not in the king’s interest to let them live.

Children, obey your parents because you belong to the Lord, for this is the right thing to do.

This man had a very beautiful and lovely young cousin, Hadassah, who was also called Esther. When her father and mother died, Mordecai adopted her into his family and raised her as his own daughter.

For my people and I have been sold to those who would kill, slaughter, and annihilate us. If we had merely been sold as slaves, I could remain quiet, for that would be too trivial a matter to warrant disturbing the king.”
