Komentaryo sa Ester 3:12: Tze'enah Ure'enah

וַיִּקָּרְאוּ֩ סֹפְרֵ֨י הַמֶּ֜לֶךְ בַּחֹ֣דֶשׁ הָרִאשׁ֗וֹן בִּשְׁלוֹשָׁ֨ה עָשָׂ֣ר יוֹם֮ בּוֹ֒ וַיִּכָּתֵ֣ב כְּֽכָל־אֲשֶׁר־צִוָּ֣ה הָמָ֡ן אֶ֣ל אֲחַשְׁדַּרְפְּנֵֽי־הַ֠מֶּלֶךְ וְֽאֶל־הַפַּח֞וֹת אֲשֶׁ֣ר ׀ עַל־מְדִינָ֣ה וּמְדִינָ֗ה וְאֶל־שָׂ֤רֵי עַם֙ וָעָ֔ם מְדִינָ֤ה וּמְדִינָה֙ כִּכְתָבָ֔הּ וְעַ֥ם וָעָ֖ם כִּלְשׁוֹנ֑וֹ בְּשֵׁ֨ם הַמֶּ֤לֶךְ אֲחַשְׁוֵרֹשׁ֙ נִכְתָּ֔ב וְנֶחְתָּ֖ם בְּטַבַּ֥עַת הַמֶּֽלֶךְ׃

At ipinatawag ang mga eskriba ng hari noong unang buwan, sa ikalabintatlong araw nito, at isinulat ang lahat ng iniutos ni Haman sa mga satrapa ng hari, sa mga gobernador ng bawat lalawigan, at sa mga pinuno ng bawat bansa. Isinulat ito para sa bawat lalawigan sa sarili nitong panulat, at para sa bawat bansa sa sarili nitong wika. Isinulat ito sa pangalan ni Haring Ahasuero, at tinatakan ng singsing ng hari.

Tze'enah Ure'enah

“And they summoned the king’s scribes” [3:12]. They summoned the king’s scribes to write a letter for each minister, a letter with the king’s seal, to destroy the Jews. No minister should tell the others any more, since there were many Jews who had many ministers as customers. They would bribe the king. Therefore, the verse said, “to the king’s satraps, to the governors and to the officials of every people” [3:12]. The verse said “to” concerning each one. That is to say, separately, to each official. However, when the king himself wrote a letter, he wrote to all the officials publicly. When Mordecai did this, he wrote one letter to all the officials that they should destroy the Amalekites. Therefore, the word “to” was not written for each official.
