When Esther’s reply ¹  was conveyed to Mordecai,

When Esther’s words were reported to Mordecai,

They related Esther’s words to Mordecai.

So Hathach gave Esther’s message to Mordecai.

When Hathach told Mordecai what Esther had said,

And they said these words to Mordecai.

When they told Mordecai what Esther had said,

So they told Mordecai Esther’s words.

When Esther’s reply ¹  was conveyed to Mordecai,

¹ tn Heb “the words of Esther”; TEV, NLT “Esther’s message.”
