Haman, despite his anger and frustration, chooses to exercise self-control. The Hebrew root for "restrained" is "אָפַק" (afak), which means to hold back or contain oneself. This moment of restraint is significant, as it shows Haman's ability to suppress his immediate emotions for a strategic purpose. In a broader biblical context, self-control is a virtue often highlighted in Scripture, such as in Proverbs 16:32, which states, "Better a patient person than a warrior, one with self-control than one who takes a city." Haman's restraint, however, is not born out of righteousness but rather a calculated move to further his own agenda. and went home And calling for his friends and his wife Zeresh Parallel Commentaries ...
