- "And all¹ the king'sª servants,ª that¹ [were] in the king'sª gate,ª bowed,ª° and reverencedª° Haman:ª for¹ the kingª had so¹ commandedª° concerning him. But Mordecaiª bowedª° not,¹ nor¹ did [him] reverence.ª°" {Est 3:2} + "But the midwivesª° fearedª°¹ God,ª and didª° not¹ as¹ the kingª of Egyptª commandedª°¹ them, but savedª°¹ the men childrenª alive.²°" {Exd 1:17} + "Whyª do thyª disciplesª transgressª° the¹ traditionª of the¹ elders?ª forª they washª° notª their²¹ handsª whenª they eatª° bread.ª ... Butª he¹ answeredª° and saidª° unto them,ª Whyª do yeª alsoª transgressª° the¹ commandmentª of Godª byª yourª tradition?ª" {Mtt 15:2-3}
