📚 Historical Context
In the Book of Esther, set in the Persian Empire during the reign of King Ahasuerus (likely Xerxes I), the Jewish people are living in exile and facing a deadly threat from Haman, a high-ranking official who has plotted their extermination due to his personal grudge against Esther's cousin Mordecai. Esther, a Jewish woman who has become queen without revealing her heritage, has invited the king and Haman to a banquet to expose the plot. At this climactic moment, Esther publicly identifies Haman as the enemy, shifting the narrative toward justice and deliverance for her people.
