Mordecai:
(little man, or worshipper of Mars) the deliverer, under divine Providence, of the Jews from the destruction plotted against them by Haman the chief minister of Xerxes; the institutor of the feast of Purim. The incidents of his history are too well known to need to be dwelt upon. SEE [ESTHER, BOOK OF]. Three things are predicated of Mordecai in the book of Esther:
(1). That he lived in Shushan;
(2). That his name was Mordecai, son of Jair, son of Shimei, son of Kish the Benjamite who was taken captive with Jehoiachin;
(3). That he brought up Esther.

Since the text and audio content provided by BLB represent a range of evangelical traditions, all of the ideas and principles conveyed in the resource materials are not necessarily affirmed, in total, by this ministry.
