📚 Contexto Histórico
In the Book of Esther, set during the Persian Empire in the 5th century BC, Haman was a high-ranking official who harbored intense hatred for the Jews, particularly because Mordecai, a Jewish leader, refused to bow to him. Haman devised a plan to exterminate all Jews by casting lots, called "Pur," to determine the most auspicious date for the massacre, reflecting the common ancient practice of using lots for decision-making in uncertain matters. This event is part of the broader narrative of Jewish survival in exile, highlighting God's providence through human actions.
