Because Haman the son of Hammedatha, the Agagite, the enemy of all the Jews, had devised against the Jews to destroy them, and had cast Pur, that is, the lot, to consume them, and to destroy them;
Porque Amán hijo de Hamedata el agagueo, enemigo de todos los judíos, había tramado un plan para destruirlos. Había echado suertes (llamadas 'Pur') para decidir cuándo exterminarlos y matarlos a todos.
Amán había planeado destruir a todos los judíos echando suertes para decidir la fecha del exterminio.
📚 Contexto Histórico
This verse is part of the explanation for why the festival of Purim was established. Haman was the chief minister under King Xerxes of Persia who developed a genocidal plot against the Jewish people living throughout the Persian Empire around 473 BC. The word 'Pur' means 'lot' in Persian, and Haman cast these lots like dice to determine the most auspicious date to carry out his plan to exterminate all Jews.
