6. Formal Translation And he despised the idea of stretching out his hand against Mordecai alone, for they had informed him about Mordecai’s people; so Haman sought to destroy all the Jews throughout the whole kingdom of Ahasuerus, the people of Mordecai. |
6. Dynamic Translation But he considered it beneath him to attack Mordecai alone, since they had revealed to him Mordecai’s people; so Haman plotted to wipe out all the Jews throughout the entire empire. |
