And all the king’s servants, that were in the king’s gate, bowed, and reverenced Haman: for the king had so commanded concerning him. But Mordecai bowed not, nor did him reverence.
Todos los funcionarios del rey en la puerta del palacio se inclinaban y honraban a Amán, porque el rey había ordenado que hicieran esto. Pero Mardoqueo se negó a inclinarse o mostrarle honor.
Mardoqueo se negó a inclinarse ante Amán a pesar de la orden del rey, mientras todos los demás funcionarios sí lo hacían.
📚 Contexto Histórico
In the ancient Persian Empire under King Ahasuerus, it was customary for officials and servants to show deep respect and bow to high-ranking figures as a sign of loyalty and hierarchy. Haman had been elevated to a prominent position by the king, who issued a command for everyone at the royal gate to bow before him, reflecting the absolute authority of the monarch. Mordecai, a Jewish exile serving in the king's court, refused to bow, likely because his faith forbade worshiping or revering anyone other than God, setting the stage for conflict in the story of Esther.
