8:7 OSHB variant note: ב/יהודיים: (x-qere) ’בַּ/יְּהוּדִֽים’: lemma_b/3064 n_0 morph_HRd/Ngmpa id_17spB בַּ/יְּהוּדִֽים

OET (OET-RV) Then king Ahasuerus said to Queen Esther and to Mordekai the Jew, “Listen, I’ve given the house of Haman to Esther, and they’ve executed him on the pole because he attempted to destroy the Jews.

SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 8:1–17: Xerxes allowed the Jews to protect themselves

After Haman’s death, the king gave Esther everything that had belonged to Haman and made Mordecai the chief official in the land. Esther asked the king to cancel Haman’s order to kill the Jews. The king instead permitted her and Mordecai to send letters in his name allowing the Jews to defend themselves and kill their enemies. The news of this order brought great joy to the Jews.

8:7a

So King Xerxes said to Esther the Queen and Mordecai the Jew,

8:7b

“Behold, I have given Haman’s estate to Esther,

Haman’s estate: See note on 8:1a.

8:7c

and he was hanged on the gallows

hanged on the gallows: See note on 2:23b.

8:7d

because he attacked the Jews.

because he attacked the Jews: The Hebrew text is more literally “laid hands on the Jews.” Because Haman’s attack on the Jews was still in the future, you may translate this phrase in a different way:

Because Haman was against the Jews (NCV)

Because of his evil plans to kill the Jews (CEV)

General Comment about 8:7b–d

It may be more logical in your language to reverse 8:7b and 8:7c–d. Haman was killed at the end of chapter 7, and then the king gave his property to Esther, so you may want to keep that same order here. GNT does this: “I have hanged Haman for his plot against the Jews, and I have given Esther his property.”

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

הִנֵּ֨ה

(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_said the=king ʼAḩashvērōsh to,Esther the,queen and,to,Mordecai the,Jew see/lo/see! house_of Haman I_give to,Esther and,,him hanged on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in the=tree on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in which/who Shalah his/its=hand on,Jews )

This is a term meant to focus the attention of the listener on what the speaker is about to say. If there is not a good way to translate this term in your language, this term can be omitted from the translation. Alternate translation: [as you know]

בֵית־הָמָ֜ן נָתַ֣תִּי לְ⁠אֶסְתֵּ֗ר

house_of Haman (Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_said the=king ʼAḩashvērōsh to,Esther the,queen and,to,Mordecai the,Jew see/lo/see! house_of Haman I_give to,Esther and,,him hanged on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in the=tree on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in which/who Shalah his/its=hand on,Jews )

See the note about this expression in [8:1](../08/01.md). Alternate translation: [I have given Esther all the property that belonged to Haman] or [I have given Esther the household of Haman]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

בֵית־הָמָ֜ן

house_of Haman

Here, house is a metonym meaning the entire household of Haman. Alternate translation: [the household of Haman]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / events

וְ⁠אֹת⁠וֹ֙ תָּל֣וּ עַל־הָ⁠עֵ֔ץ

and,,him (Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_said the=king ʼAḩashvērōsh to,Esther the,queen and,to,Mordecai the,Jew see/lo/see! house_of Haman I_give to,Esther and,,him hanged on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in the=tree on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in which/who Shalah his/its=hand on,Jews )

You can put this information first because it happened before the king gave Haman’s property to Esther. Alternate translation: [I had my servants impale Haman on a wooden pole] or [I had my servants hang Haman on a gallows]

Note 4 topic: translate-unknown

הָ⁠עֵ֔ץ

the=tree

See how you translated this in [2:23](../02/23.md). Review the note there if that would be helpful. Be sure your translation is consistent in the chapters that follow.

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

שָׁלַ֥ח יָד֖⁠וֹ

(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_said the=king ʼAḩashvērōsh to,Esther the,queen and,to,Mordecai the,Jew see/lo/see! house_of Haman I_give to,Esther and,,him hanged on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in the=tree on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in which/who Shalah his/its=hand on,Jews )

Here the expression to stretch out a hand means to cause someone physical harm with the intention of killing them. Alternate translation: [because he plotted to destroy all the Jews]
