Ester 8:1 Meaning and Commentary

Esther 8:1

On that day did the King, Ahasuerus, give the house of
Haman, the Jews' enemy, unto Esther the queen
That, and all the goods in it, and estate belonging to it; which being confiscated to the king, he gave to Esther, who would have been the sufferer, had his scheme taken place; so the Targum adds,

``and the men of his house, and all his treasures, and all his riches:''

and Mordecai came before the king;
was introduced into his presence, became one of his privy counsellors, one of those that saw the king's face, and sat first in the kingdom, ( Esther 1:14 )

for Esther had told what he was unto her;
what relation he stood in to her; her uncle, according to the Vulgate Latin version, and so Aben Ezra and Josephus, but wrongly, for she was his uncle's daughter; so that they were brother's children, or own cousins, see ( Esther 2:7 ) .

Ester 8:1 In-Context

1 Aquel mismo día el rey Asuero dio a la reina Ester la casa de Amán, enemigo de los judíos; y Mardoqueo vino delante del rey, porque Ester le había revelado lo que era él para ella.
2 Entonces el rey se quitó el anillo que había recobrado de Amán, y se lo dio a Mardoqueo. Y Ester puso a Mardoqueo sobre la casa de Amán.
3 Ester habló de nuevo delante del rey, cayó a sus pies, y llorando, le imploró que impidiera los propósitos perversos de Amán agagueo y el plan que había tramado contra los judíos.
4 Extendió el rey hacia Ester el cetro de oro, y Ester se levantó y se puso delante del rey,
5 y dijo: Si le place al rey, y si he hallado gracia delante de él, si el asunto le parece bien al rey y yo soy grata ante sus ojos, que se escriba para revocar las cartas concebidas por Amán, hijo de Hamedata, agagueo, las cuales escribió para destruir a los judíos que están en todas las provincias del rey.
