TSNTyndale Study Notes:

7:5 Who would do such a thing? The king could hardly believe what he was hearing and could not imagine someone trying to do this atrocious thing. He asks for no details about Esther’s accusations, assuming they were all true (cp. 3:10).


UTNuW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / doublet

וַ⁠יֹּ֨אמֶר֙ & וַ⁠יֹּ֖אמֶר

and=he/it_said & and=he/it_said

These two words mean the same thing. Alternate translation: “responded”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / parallelism

מִ֣י ה֥וּא זֶה֙ וְ⁠אֵֽי־זֶ֣ה ה֔וּא

who? he/it this and,where this he/it

These two phrases mean similar things. They both ask about the identity of the man who is trying to destroy the Jews. King Ahasuerus uses the repetition to emphasize how outraged he is. If the repetition would be confusing in your language, you could combine the two phrases. However, from another perspective, both the man’s identity and his location are important to know so that his plot can be stopped. So, for that reason, you could also decide to include both phrases in your translation.

מִ֣י ה֥וּא זֶה֙ וְ⁠אֵֽי־זֶ֣ה ה֔וּא

who? he/it this and,where this he/it

Alternate translation: “who has done this”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

וְ⁠אֵֽי־זֶ֣ה ה֔וּא אֲשֶׁר־מְלָא֥⁠וֹ לִבּ֖⁠וֹ לַ⁠עֲשׂ֥וֹת כֵּֽן

and,where this he/it which/who he_filled,himself his/its=heart for=doing yes/correct/thus/so

Here the concept of a full heart uses two metaphors at once. “Heart” represents the action of thinking or feeling. Also, saying that the “heart” is “full” is a figurative way of saying that someone is fully intending to do something, usually something that should not be done. Alternate translation: “where is the man who is intending to do such a thing”
