And the thing became known to Mordecai, and he related it to Esther the queen, and Esther told it to the king in Mordecai's name.

And in every province, and in every city, wherever the king's commandment and his decree came, the Jews had joy and gladness, a feast and a good day. And many among the peoples of the land became Jews; for the fear of the Jews had fallen upon them.

For Mordecai was great in the king's house, and his fame went forth throughout the provinces; for the man Mordecai became continually greater.
