* the enemy.
10 3:5-13
* Pur.
The word {pur} seems to be derived either from the Persian
{bahr} and {bar,} a part, portion, lot, or {pari,} any thing
which happens fortuitously or fortunately; whence the annual
festival in commemoration of the wonderful deliverance of the
Jews from their enemies was called Purim, or in Arabic and
Persian, {Fuhr,} or {Lots;} which has been observed by them,
in all places of their dispersion, from that day to the
present time, without any interruption.
3:7
* consume. Heb. crush.
