Berean Strong's Lexicon Haman: Haman Original Word: הָמָן Word Origin: Of Persian origin Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for Haman in the Strong's Concordance, as Haman is a proper name specific to the Hebrew text. However, the Greek Septuagint uses the transliteration "Ἀμάν" (Aman) for Haman. Usage: Haman is a proper noun used to identify a specific individual in the Hebrew Bible. He is most notably recognized as the antagonist in the Book of Esther. Haman is depicted as a high-ranking official in the Persian Empire under King Ahasuerus (Xerxes I) and is infamous for his plot to annihilate the Jewish people. Cultural and Historical Background: Haman is introduced in the Book of Esther as an Agagite, which may suggest a connection to the Amalekites, a longstanding enemy of Israel. His rise to power in the Persian court and subsequent enmity towards Mordecai, a Jew who refused to bow to him, set the stage for his genocidal scheme. The historical context of the Persian Empire, known for its vast and diverse population, provides a backdrop for the narrative of Esther, where issues of identity, power, and providence are explored. Haman's account is integral to the Jewish festival of Purim, which commemorates the deliverance of the Jewish people from his plot.
