Catholic 1849 · Haydock’s Catholic Bible Commentary, Esther 10:6

George Leo Haydock, on Esth 10:6

George Leo Haydock · 1774–1849
Esth 10:6 · Douay-Rheims
“The little fountain which grew into a river, and was turned into a light, and into the sun, and abounded into many waters, is Esther, whom the king married, and made queen.”
On this verse:
“And was. Septuagint, “and there was light, and the sun and much water.” The light enabled him to discern the progress of the little fountain. Yet it was not absurd that the water should appear luminous, like the sun, as it was intended to shew the wonderful exaltation of Esther. (Haydock) — She extinguished a great fire, which threatened ruin. (Menochius)”
