Mor'asthite, The. (little man, or worshipper of Mars). The deliverer, under divine Providence, of the Jews from the destruction plotted against them, by Haman, the chief minister of Xerxes; the institutor of the Feast of Purim. The incidents of his history are too well known to need to be dwelt upon. See Esther, The Book of.
Three things are predicated of Mordecai in the book of Esther:
(1) That he lived in Shushan;
(2) That his name was Mordecai, son of Jair, son of Shimei, son of Kish, the Benjamite who was taken captive with Jehoiachin;
(3) That he brought up Esther.
