Ester 3:6

Listen to Ester 3:6
6 Contudo, sabendo quem era o povo de Mardoqueu, achou que não bastava matá-lo. Em vez disso, Hamã procurou uma forma de exterminar todos os judeus, o povo de Mardoqueu, em todo o império de Xerxes.

Ester 3:6 Meaning and Commentary

Esther 3:6

And he thought scorn to lay hands on Mordecai alone
That would not be a sufficient gratification of his revenge; he was too low and mean a person only to wreak his vengeance on; nothing short of his whole nation would satisfy him:

for they had showed him the people of Mordecai;
that they were the Jews; for Mordecai had told the king's servants, that talked with him on the subject, that he was a Jew, and gave that as a reason why he could not and would not reverence Haman:

wherefore Haman sought to destroy all the Jews that were throughout the
whole kingdom of Ahasuerus;
even the people of Mordecai; and that not merely to be revenged on Mordecai, but because he plainly saw, that both by his example, and upon the same principle with him; they would all to a man refuse to give him reverence; and therefore he was resolved to root them out of the whole empire, that he might not be mortified by them.

Ester 3:6 In-Context

4 Dia após dia eles lhe falavam, mas ele não lhes dava atenção e dizia que era judeu. Então contaram tudo a Hamã para ver se o comportamento de Mardoqueu seria tolerado.
5 Quando Hamã viu que Mardoqueu não se curvava nem se prostrava, ficou muito irado.
6 Contudo, sabendo quem era o povo de Mardoqueu, achou que não bastava matá-lo. Em vez disso, Hamã procurou uma forma de exterminar todos os judeus, o povo de Mardoqueu, em todo o império de Xerxes.
7 No primeiro mês do décimo segundo ano do reinado do rei Xerxes, no mês de nisã, lançaram o pur, isto é, a sorte, na presença de Hamã a fim de escolher um dia e um mês para executar o plano. E foi sorteado o décimo segundo mês, o mês de adar.
8 Então Hamã disse ao rei Xerxes: “Existe certo povo disperso e espalhado entre os povos de todas as províncias do teu império, cujos costumes são diferentes dos de todos os outros povos e que não obedecem às leis do rei; não convém ao rei tolerá-los.
