📚 Historical Context
This occurs during the Persian Empire when Jews lived as minorities throughout the kingdom. Haman, the king's chief official, had offered to pay 10,000 talents of silver (an enormous sum) to King Xerxes for the right to exterminate all Jews because of his personal hatred for Mordecai. Mordecai is communicating through Hatach, a palace servant, because he cannot speak directly to Queen Esther.
