Mordecai, a Jew in the citadel of Susa, brings up Hadassah, that is, Esther, his uncle’s daughter

도성 수산의 유다인 모르드개가 저의 삼촌의 딸 하닷사 곧 에스더를 양육함

Esther 2:5–7: “There was a certain Jew in the citadel of Susa whose name was Mordecai, the son of Jair, the son of Shimei, the son of Kish, a Benjamite, who had been carried away from Jerusalem with the captives who had been carried away with Jeconiah king of Judah, whom Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon had carried away.” Mordecai (WEB “He” at 2:7) brings up Hadassah, that is, Esther, his uncle’s daughter; “for she had neither father nor mother. The maiden was fair and beautiful; and when her father and mother were dead, Mordecai took her for his own daughter.” The Korean Revised Version makes Mordecai the Benjamite (저는 베냐민 자손이니, he was of the children of Benjamin), gives the line from Kish down (기스의 증손이요 시므이의 손자요 야일의 아들이라, the great-grandson of Kish, the grandson of Shimei, the son of Jair), names Mordecai as the one carried away (모르드개도 함께 사로잡혔더라, Mordecai too was carried away), and reads 자기 딸 같이 양육하더라 (brought her up like his own daughter), where WEB reads “took her for his own daughter”.
