Haman's Elevation and His Design against the Jews - Est 3:1-15 King Ahashverosh promoted Haman the Agagite above all the princes about him, and commanded all his servants to fall down before him. This mark of reverence was refused by Mordochai the Jew from religious scruples. When intelligence of this was brought to Haman, he sought to obtain the extermination of the Jews throughout the kingdom (Est 3:1-6). The twelfth month was appointed by the casting of lots for this purpose; and Haman, by exciting the suspicion of the king against the Jews as an exclusive and law-opposing people, obtained from him an edict to this effect (Est 3:7-11), and sent it, by letters sealed with the king's seal, by the hand of messengers into all the provinces of the kingdom in the first month, that they might be ready to carry it into execution in the twelfth month; whereat the city of Susa was much perplexed (Est 3:12-15).
افتح المصدر ↗A very black and mournful scene here opens, and which threatens the ruin of all the people of God. Were there not some such dark nights, the light of the morning would not be so welcome. I. Haman is made the king's favourite (Est 3:1). II. Mordecai refuses to give him the honour he demands (Est 3:2-4). III. Haman, for his sake, vows to be revenged upon all the Jews (Est 3:5, Est 3:6). IV. He, upon a malicious suggestion, obtains an order from the king to have the all massacred upon a certain day (Est 3:7-13). V. This order is dispersed through the kingdom (Est 3:14, Est 3:15).
افتح المصدر ↗3:10-11 The king agreed with no inquiry. The king is presented as someone very irresponsible and easily manipulated. By removing his signet ring, the king gave up his control over official policies; by giving it to Haman, he signified that Haman had complete authority to seal the decree. • the enemy of the Jews: The narrator’s new title for Haman is an ominous note regarding his power to persecute the Jews (see also 8:1; 9:10, 24). • The money and the people are both yours: It may appear that the king did not want the bribe, but 4:7 suggests that Haman did give the money. The king was following a customary protocol to make the bribe and his greed less obvious (cp. Gen 23:10-16). For the sake of public appearance the king pretended not to be interested in the money, but in reality he was.

وَخَلَعَ فِرْعَوْنُ خَاتِمَهُ مِنْ يَدِهِ وَجَعَلَهُ فِي يَدِ يُوسُفَ، وَأَلْبَسَهُ ثِيَابَ بُوصٍ، وَوَضَعَ طَوْقَ ذَهَبٍ فِي عُنُقِهِ،
وَنَزَعَ الْمَلِكُ خَاتَمَهُ الَّذِي أَخَذَهُ مِنْ هَامَانَ وَأَعْطَاهُ لِمُرْدَخَايَ. وَأَقَامَتْ أَسْتِيرُ مُرْدَخَايَ عَلَى بَيْتِ هَامَانَ.
فَقَالَتْ أَسْتِيرُ: «هُوَ رَجُلٌ خَصْمٌ وَعَدُوٌّ، هذَا هَامَانُ الرَّدِيءُ». فَارْتَاعَ هَامَانُ أَمَامَ الْمَلِكِ وَالْمَلِكَةِ.
فَاكْتُبَا أَنْتُمَا إِلَى الْيَهُودِ مَا يَحْسُنُ فِي أَعْيُنِكُمَا بِاسْمِ الْمَلِكِ، وَاخْتُمَاهُ بِخَاتِمِ الْمَلِكِ، لأَنَّ الْكِتَابَةَ الَّتِي تُكْتَبُ بِاسْمِ الْمَلِكِ وَتُخْتَمُ بِخَاتِمِهِ لاَ تُرَدُّ».
بَعْدَ هذِهِ الأُمُورِ عَظَّمَ الْمَلِكُ أَحَشْوِيرُوشُ هَامَانَ بْنَ هَمَدَاثَا الأَجَاجِيَّ وَرَقَّاهُ، وَجَعَلَ كُرْسِيَّهُ فَوْقَ جَمِيعِ الرُّؤَسَاءِ الَّذِينَ مَعَهُ.
