Esther 7:5
"For we are sold, I and my people, to be destroyed, to be slain, and to perish. But if we had been sold for male and female slaves, I would have held my peace, although the adversary could not have compensated for the king’s loss.”"
Key Reflection
In this passage, Mordecai expresses the dire situation of the Jewish people, stating that they are being sold into a fate worse than slavery—destined for destruction and death. His willingness to accept lesser fates underscores the severity of their plight and his unwavering loyalty to his people despite the impending danger.
