Adam Clarke, on Esth 8:2
Adam Clarke · 1762–1832
Esth 8:2 · Douay-Rheims
“And the king took the ring which he had commanded to be taken again from Aman, and gave it to Mardochai. And Esther set Mardochai over her house.”
On this verse:
“The king took off his ring - In the ring was the seal of the king. Giving the ring to Mordecai was tantamount to giving him the seal of the kingdom, and constituting him the same as lord chancellor among us.”
