For most of us who learned the book of Esther growing up, Haman was killed by being hung on gallows. This seems to be what the Megillah describes in chapter 7. After Queen Esther accuses Haman of trying to have her and all her people killed, Harbona, one of the palace officials tells the king: The Hebrew word ת.ל.ה/י, means “to hang,” which is unde...
On the 13thof Adar, the Jews prevailed over their enemies: The results of the battle are reported to the king, after which Ahasuerus asks Esther if there is anything else she requires: Why do they hang the corpses of Haman’s sons?
The Hebrew root ת.ל.ה/י can mean hang. But in the context of corpses, it most likely means “impale,” and thus עץ here means not “tree” or “gallows” but “stake.” Assyrian reliefs depict the Assyrians impaling their enemies upon stakes.

The daily hard and soft forms of Christian persecution for which they could not seek political, social or military redress were rectified in the performed space of fictive poetic drama. Instead of fomenting rebellion, Jews re-crucified Haman (= Jesus) every Puri...
