Catholic 1849 · Haydock’s Catholic Bible Commentary, Esther 15:13

George Leo Haydock, on Esth 15:13

George Leo Haydock · 1774–1849
Esth 15:13 · Douay-Rheims
“Thou shalt not die: for this law is not made for thee, but for all others.”
On this verse:
“Others, is not expressed; (Haydock) and Esther might well suppose that she was included, as she probably was, (chap. iv. 11.; Capellus) though the king now altered his mind. (Houbigant) — Greek, “our decree is common,” made for our subjects. According to the Roman law, the empress enjoyed the like privileges as her husband. (Calmet)”
