وَأُرْسِلَتِ الْكِتَابَاتُ بِيَدِ السُّعَاةِ إِلَى كُلِّ بُلْدَانِ الْمَلِكِ لإِهْلاَكِ وَقَتْلِ وَإِبَادَةِ جَمِيعِ الْيَهُودِ، مِنَ الْغُلاَمِ إِلَى الشَّيْخِ وَالأَطْفَالِ وَالنِّسَاءِ فِي يَوْمٍ وَاحِدٍ، فِي الثَّالِثَ عَشَرَ مِنَ الشَّهْرِ الثَّانِي عَشَرَ، أَيْ شَهْرِ أَذَارَ، وَأَنْ يَسْلِبُوا غَنِيمَتَهُمْ.

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 ↗3:13 The phrase killed, slaughtered, and annihilated is repeated with ironic effect in 8:11 and 9:5. • on March 7 of the next year: Haman’s “lucky day” that was chosen by casting lots (3:7) was eleven months after the decree, by God’s providence, giving time to overcome the decree. • The property of the Jews would be given to those who killed them: Haman ingeniously bribed the would-be executioners.

فَذَهَبَ السُّعَاةُ بِالرَّسَائِلِ مِنْ يَدِ الْمَلِكِ وَرُؤَسَائِهِ فِي جَمِيعِ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَيَهُوذَا، وَحَسَبَ وَصِيَّةِ الْمَلِكِ كَانُوا يَقُولُونَ: «يَا بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ، ارْجِعُوا إِلَى الرَّبِّ إِلهِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَإِسْحَاقَ وَإِسْرَائِيلَ، فَيَرْجعَ إِلَى النَّاجِينَ الْبَاقِينَ لَكُمْ مِنْ يَدِ مُلُوكِ أَشُّورَ.
عَشَرَةَ، بَنِي هَامَانَ بْنِ هَمَدَاثَا عَدُوِّ الْيَهُودِ، قَتَلُوهُمْ وَلكِنَّهُمْ لَمْ يَمُدُّوا أَيْدِيَهُمْ إِلَى النَّهْبِ.
فَالآنَ اذْهَبْ وَاضْرِبْ عَمَالِيقَ، وَحَرِّمُوا كُلَّ مَا لَهُ وَلاَ تَعْفُ عَنْهُمْ بَلِ اقْتُلْ رَجُلاً وَامْرَأَةً، طِفْلاً وَرَضِيعًا، بَقَرًا وَغَنَمًا، جَمَلاً وَحِمَارًا».
وَضَرَبَ نُوبَ مَدِينَةَ الْكَهَنَةِ بِحَدِّ السَّيْفِ. الرِّجَالَ وَالنِّسَاءَ وَالأَطْفَالَ وَالرِّضْعَانَ وَالثِّيرَانَ وَالْحَمِيرَ وَالْغَنَمَ بِحَدِّ السَّيْفِ.
لأَنَّ الْحُكْمَ هُوَ بِلاَ رَحْمَةٍ لِمَنْ لَمْ يَعْمَلْ رَحْمَةً، وَالرَّحْمَةُ تَفْتَخِرُ عَلَى الْحُكْمِ.
أَرْجُلُهُمْ سَرِيعَةٌ إِلَى سَفْكِ الدَّمِ.
أَيَّامِي أَسْرَعُ مِنْ عَدَّاءٍ، تَفِرُّ وَلاَ تَرَى خَيْرًا.
عَلَى أُمَّةٍ مُنَافِقَةٍ أُرْسِلُهُ، وَعَلَى شَعْبِ سَخَطِي أُوصِيهِ، لِيَغْتَنِمَ غَنِيمَةً وَيَنْهَبَ نَهْبًا، وَيَجْعَلَهُمْ مَدُوسِينَ كَطِينِ الأَزِقَّةِ.
لأَنَّنَا قَدْ بِعْنَا أَنَا وَشَعْبِي لِلْهَلاَكِ وَالْقَتْلِ وَالإِبَادَةِ. وَلَوْ بِعْنَا عَبِيدًا وَإِمَاءً لَكُنْتُ سَكَتُّ، مَعَ أَنَّ الْعَدُوَّ لاَ يُعَوِّضُ عَنْ خَسَارَةِ الْمَلِكِ».
يَرْكُضُ عَدَّاءٌ لِلِقَاءِ عَدَّاءٍ، وَمُخْبِرٌ لِلِقَاءِ مُخْبِرٍ، لِيُخْبِرَ مَلِكَ بَابِلَ بِأَنَّ مَدِينَتَهُ قَدْ أُخِذَتْ عَنْ أقْصَى،
