	Haman (Bible) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Haman (or Haman the Agagite המן האגגי) (possibly Persian "magnificent") was a 6th Century BCE Persian noble and vizier of the empire under Persian King Ahasuerus, generally identified as Xerxes I.
		Haman and his 10 sons are hanged from the gallows that had originally been built to hang Mordechai.
		Haman was also an astrologer, and when he was about to fix the time for the massacre of the Jews he first cast lots to ascertain which was the most auspicious day of the week for that purpose.

		Haman was the prime minister of Persia during the reign of King Xerxes.
		Haman had enough influence over the king to persude him to issue a royal edict to destroy, kill and annihilate all the Jews and to plunder their goods.
		Haman, however, was to end up on the gallows himself, as Esther made the King understand that Haman's plot was against her own people.

		In the first month, Nisan, in the twelfth year of King Ahasuerus, the pur, or lot, was cast in Haman's presence to determine the day and the month for the destruction of Mordecai's people on a single day, and the lot fell on the thirteenth day of the twelfth month, Adar.

	Bible Study - Haman
		Haman was a high official, in effect the prime minister, of the Persian king Ahasuerus, also known as Xerxes (reigned 485-465 BC - see Ancient Empires - Persia).
		Haman is known to Bible History from the book of Esther where, because Esther's cousin Mordecai (who was in fact very loyal to the king himself) would not bow down to him, Haman spitefully tried, and failed, to destroy all Jews within the kingdom.
		"Then Haman said to King Ahasuerus, "There is a certain people scattered abroad and dispersed among the peoples in all the provinces of your kingdom; their laws are different from those of every other people, and they do not keep the king's laws, so that it is not for the king's profit to tolerate them.

	Historical Errors of the Qur'an: Pharaoh and Haman (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		Haman is mentioned six times in the Qur'an and is referred to as an intimate person belonging to the close circle of Pharaoh.
		The whole basis for the Haman controversy is the appearance of a Haman in the Qur'an in a historical period different from that of the Bible.
		Moreover, the artificial symmetry suggests fiction: Gentile against Jews; Vashti as opposed to Esther; the hanging of Haman and the appointment of Mordecai as the vizier; the anti-Semitic pogrom and the slaying of the gentiles.

	Pharaoh, Haman, and the tower of Babel (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		According to Surah 28:35-42 and 40:36-37, Haman was a minister or official of the Pharoah (king of Egypt) who lived in the same time as Moses.
		Furthermore, in the Qur'an Haman is ordered by Pharaoh to build a tower reaching into heaven ("the Tower of Babel") which is a well known story of an event that took place long before Abraham, who lived at least 400 years before Moses.
		This assumption itself implies either that Hâmân is an unhistorical figure that never existed outside the Bible or that if he was historical then he would have to be the prime minister of the Persian king Ahasuerus, as depicted in the Esther.
