Haman in rabbinic literature : ウィキペディア英語版 | Haman in rabbinic literature
Allusions in rabbinic literature to the Biblical character of Haman, the anti-Jewish villain of the Book of Esther, contain various expansions, elaborations and inferences beyond what is presented in the text of the Bible itself. ==Ancestry and other information==
Haman is identified by the Talmudists with Memucan, the last of the seven princes "which saw the king's face" (Esth. i. 14),〔(JewishEncyclopedia.com - HAMAN THE AGAGITE )〕 giving to "Memucan" the signification of "prepared for punishment"〔 (Targum to Esth.; Talmud Meg. 12b).〔 Haman was a direct descendant of Agag in the sixteenth generation and consequently an Amalekite (Targ. Sheni).〔 The Septuagint, however, gives for ''ha-Agagi'' "macedonian" in Esth. ix. 24, while in the preceding instances no translation whatever is given.〔 Having attempted to exterminate the Jews of Persia, and rendering himself thereby their worst enemy, Haman naturally became the center of many Talmudic legends.〔 Being at one time in extreme want, he sold himself as a slave to Mordecai (Meg. 15a).〔 He was a barber at Kefar Ḳarẓum for the space of twenty-two years (ib. 16a).〔 Haman had an idolatrous image embroidered on his garments, so that those who bowed to him at command of the king bowed also to the image (Esther Rabba vii.).〔
