However, the Book of Esther, which Leonard J. Greenspoon (The Oxford History of the Biblical World, Between Alexandria and Antioch) describes as a second-century Jewish novel, says that the wicked Haman sought to have all the Jews living in Persia killed.
Haman, an official in the Persian Empire, plotted to have the entire Hebrew nation exterminated during the time of Queen Esther. His plan was thwarted through the bravery and actions of Queen Esther and her cousin Mordecai.
Christians generally view the Hebrew Bible, or the Old Testament, as sacred scripture that is inspired by God and serves as a foundation for their faith. They believe that the Hebrew Bible is important for understanding the history and teachings that lead to the coming of Jesus Christ in the New Testament.
Most of the Old Testament was written in Hebrew, a slight variation of which is still spoken today. Parts of it (notably in the book of Daniel) are written Aramaic. Most of the New Testament is written in Koine Greek (which is not quite like ancient Greek from Homer or Aristotle but is also not like the Greek spoken today in Greece.) Some words in the New Testament are given in Aramaic, like "Talitha koum!" in Mark 5:41. The Aramaic language dates back a long ways and has undergone some changes, particularly because it was a widespread language at one time. However, the primary languages of the Bible are Hebrew and Koine Greek.
Revelation 16:16 - "Then they gathered the kings together to the place that in Hebrew is called Armageddon." Revelation 19:19-21 - "Then I saw the beast and the kings of the earth and their armies gathered together to wage war against the rider on the horse and his army." Joel 3:2 - "I will gather all nations and bring them down to the Valley of Jehoshaphat. There I will put them on trial for what they did to my inheritance, my people Israel, because they scattered my people among the nations and divided up my land."
Canaan was an ancient region located in the eastern Mediterranean, roughly corresponding to present-day Israel, the West Bank, and Gaza. In the Old Testament, Canaan holds significance as the Promised Land that God led the Israelites to after their escape from Egypt. The conquest of Canaan by the Israelites was a central event in biblical history and symbolized their covenant with God.
