Question

Because Esther refused to bow and reverence Haman, he wanted to destroy her and all her people. True or false?

Answer 1

Answer:

True.

Explanation:

There are different explanations for Mordecai’s refusal to kneel and bow before Haman. The text says that Mordecai did not kneel before Haman because he was a Jew. It is possible that Mordecai refused to bow to Haman because he was an Amalekite, since the Jews and the Amalekites had been enemies for centuries.
