King Ahasuerus promotes Haman, and Mordecai doesn’t bow down or pay him homage

아하수에로왕이 하만의 지위를 높이고 모르드개는 하만에게 꿇지도 아니하고 절하지도 아니함

Esther 3:1–6: after these things King Ahasuerus promotes Haman the son of Hammedatha the Agagite, and advances him, and sets his seat above all the princes who were with him. All the king’s servants who were in the king’s gate bow down and pay homage to Haman, for the king had so commanded concerning him; but Mordecai doesn’t bow down or pay him homage. Then the king’s servants who were in the king’s gate say to Mordecai, “Why do you disobey the king’s commandment?” When they speak daily to him, and he doesn’t listen to them, they tell Haman, to see whether Mordecai’s reason would stand; “for he had told them that he was a Jew.” When Haman sees that Mordecai doesn’t bow down nor pay him homage, Haman is full of wrath. The text says, “But he scorned the thought of laying hands on Mordecai alone, for they had made known to him Mordecai’s people. Therefore Haman sought to destroy all the Jews who were throughout the whole kingdom of Ahasuerus, even Mordecai’s people.” The Korean Revised Version names Mordecai twice at 3:4 (모르드개가 듣지 아니하고 자기는 유다인임을 고하였더니, Mordecai did not listen and told them that he was a Jew), where WEB reads “he”, and at 3:6 tells first that they told Haman of Mordecai’s people, and names Haman (하만이 모르드개만 죽이는 것이 경하다 하고, Haman thought it a light thing to kill Mordecai alone), where WEB opens with “he”.
