George Leo Haydock, on Esth 8:7
George Leo Haydock · 1774–1849
Esth 8:7 · Douay-Rheims
“And king Assuerus answered Esther the queen, and Mardochai the Jew: I have given Aman’s house to Esther, and I have commanded him to be hanged on a gibbet, because he durst lay hands on the Jews.”
On this verse:
“Durst. Hebrew, “laid.” He had sufficiently manifested his intention to destroy them, though he had not been able to injure any one. (Haydock)”
