Ester 2:11

2:11 And day after day Mordecai used to walk back and forth in front of the court of the harem in order to learn how Esther was doing ¹  and what might happen to her.

Ester 3:5

3:5 When Haman saw that Mordecai was not bowing or paying homage to him, he ²  was filled with rage.

[2:11]  ¹ tn Heb “to know the peace of Esther.”

[3:5]  ² tn Heb “Haman.” The pronoun (“he”) was used in the translation for stylistic reasons. Repeating the proper name here is redundant according to contemporary English style, although the name is repeated in NASB and NRSV.
