'Relatives' in the Bible

Esther had not made known her people nor her relatives, because Mordecai had instructed her that she should not make it known.

Esther had not yet made known her relatives nor her people, as Mordecai had commanded her; for Esther obeyed Mordecai, like she did when she was brought up by him.

For how could I bear to see the disaster that would come on my people? How could I bear to see the destruction of my relatives?”

Mordecai the Jew was second only to King Ahasuerus, famous among the Jews, and highly popular with many of his relatives. He continued to seek good for his people and to speak for the welfare of all his descendants.
