In the Book of Esther we are told the story of Mordecai, an exiled Jew in Persia and cousin of Esther, who raised her as his own after his uncle died; and, who, when King Ahasuerus of Persia ordered that all of the virgins in the kingdom be brought to him for him to choose a new wife, ensured that Esther was among them. So enamoured was the king with Esther’s beauty that he chose her to be queen. Mordecai, now Esther’s top adviser, soon learned of a plot by two palace hands to assassinate the king and informed Esther, who in turn informed the king. Once the plot was foiled, the king elevated a man named Haman to the position of highest adviser and ordered everyone to bow down to him; Mordecai refused. Enraged, Haman promised the king a sum of money in exchange for permission to exterminate all of the Jews in the kingdom. Haman subsequently issued an order under the king’s seal, calling for the extermination of all the Jews in the kingdom, and when Mordecai found out about it, he pleaded with Esther to reveal to the king that she was a Jew and ask him to repeal the order.

A really thoughtful summary and analysis of the judgement! I can't wait to share it with my students :)
