📚 Historical Context
In the Book of Esther, set during the Persian Empire in the 5th century BC, the Jewish people faced a genocidal plot orchestrated by Haman, a high official who sought to destroy them out of personal hatred. Queen Esther, a Jewish woman who had risen to the position of queen, bravely intervened to expose the scheme and secure the king's permission for the Jews to defend themselves. This verse is part of a list naming the sons of Haman who were executed as the Jews fought back against their attackers on the appointed day.
