Bible Verses

Esther sent her reply to Mordecai:

If you stay silent now, relief and salvation will come to the Jews from another source, but you and your family will perish. And who knows—perhaps you have come to the throne for such a time as this.”

he sent back this reply: “Don’t assume that just because you’re in the king’s palace, you alone among all the Jews will escape.

When Mordecai received Esther’s message,

“All the king’s servants and the people of his provinces know that any man or woman who goes to the king in the inner court without being summoned risks death, unless the king grants them life by holding out his golden scepter. But I have not been called to go to the king for thirty

In reply, Esther gave Hathach this message for Mordecai:

Esther’s Instructions to Mordecai 9Hathach returned to Esther and told her what Mordecai had said.

He also gave Hathach a copy of the written decree for their destruction to show and explain to Esther. He further instructed him to urge her to go to the king, beg for mercy, and intercede on behalf of her people.

Mordecai told him everything that had happened and exactly how much money Haman had promised to give to the royal treasury.

So Hathach went to Mordecai in the public square in front of the king’s gate.
