Tafsiran Ester 3:11: Tze'enah Ure'enah & Targum Sheni

וַיֹּ֤אמֶר הַמֶּ֙לֶךְ֙ לְהָמָ֔ן הַכֶּ֖סֶף נָת֣וּן לָ֑ךְ וְהָעָ֕ם לַעֲשׂ֥וֹת בּ֖וֹ כַּטּ֥וֹב בְּעֵינֶֽיךָ׃

Lalu raja berkata kepada Haman: “Perak itu diserahkan kepadamu, demikian pula bangsa itu, untuk kauperlakukan sesuai dengan apa yang baik di matamu.”

Tze'enah Ure'enah

“To do with as you see fit” [3:11]. The king said to Haman. The silver has been given to you; do what you would like with the people. That is to say, Ahasuerus answered Haman. You desired to destroy them. This can be understood in two ways, to kill and to destroy. You can do what you want.

Targum Sheni

And the king said to Haman: "The money is given to thee, and the people too, to do with them as it seems best in thy sight." But thou, Ahhashverosh, hast neither acted like a buyer nor like a seller, for a buyer gives money and a seller takes money; but thou hast given thy ring to Haman, and hast said to him: "Thy money is given thee and the people, to do with them as it seems best in thy sight." In thee is the verse verified which says: "As a ring of gold in a swine's snout (Prov. xi. 22). As rings do not befit swine, so the kingdom does not befit thee, and thou art like a beautiful woman of bad morals."
