The decree is issued by King Darius, a Persian ruler, emphasizing the power and influence of the Persian Empire over the Jewish people during this period. The word "decree" in the original Aramaic (the language of this part of Ezra) is "ta'am," which signifies a command or order that is binding and authoritative. This reflects the seriousness with which the Persian kings viewed their edicts, expecting them to be followed without question. if anyone alters this edict a beam is to be pulled from his house and he is to be lifted up and impaled on it And his house is to be made a pile of rubble Hanged is literally crucified. Among the Persians crucifixion was generally the nailing of a body to a cross after decapitation; among the Assyrians it was transfixion or impalement. Here the "being set up" refers of course to the man, and not to the beam. Verse 11. - Whoever shall alter this word. Rather, "this edict." To alter the terms of a royal decree would in any country be a heinous offence. In Persia, where the monarch was absolute, and where decrees were regarded as "altering not" (Daniel 6:8, 12), it was a crime of the deepest dye. Hence the severity of the punishment threatened. The punishment has been explained as crucifixion, impalement, and "whipping at a post;" but there seems to be no real doubt that crucifixion is intended. Great criminals were almost always crucified by the Persians (see Brisson, 'De Regno Persarum,' 2. pp. 327-329; and comp. 'Behist. Inscr.,' col. 2. par. 14; col. 3. par. 8).
