George Leo Haydock, on Esth 8:1

George Leo Haydock · 1774–1849
Esth 8:1 · Douay-Rheims
“On that day king Assuerus gave the house of Aman, the Jews’ enemy, to queen Esther, and Mardochai came in before the king. For Esther had confessed to him that he was her uncle.”
On this verse:
“House, and furniture. Septuagint, “all the possessions of Aman, the devil,” (accuser, &c.; Haydock) which were confiscated for treason; and no one had a better title than the queen, whose life had been is such danger. Yet she did not touch the estates of the children, ver. 13., and chap. ix. 10. — King. In the place of Aman, chap. ix. 4., and x. 3. — Uncle, or cousin. (Calmet)”
