📚 Historical Context
In the Book of Esther, set during the Persian Empire under King Ahasuerus, Haman was a high-ranking official who demanded that people bow to him as a symbol of his authority. Mordecai, a Jewish exile working at the king's gate, refused to bow, likely because it conflicted with his faith in God as the only one worthy of such reverence. This refusal highlighted the cultural tensions between Persian customs and Jewish religious convictions.
