• {3:8-9} The Jews thus are viewed as a people dispersed throughout all the nations of the vast empire of Ahasuerus. Nevertheless, though in the midst of nations, they always remained Jews, a separate people by their manners, their customs, their religion and their observances. (“Chapter 2: The Jews” by H.L. Rossier)
• The ordinances and prohibitions of their God were above every commandment and every injunction of man whoever he might be. "We ought to obey God rather than men." Acts 5:29. But the accusation of Haman was not truthful. On this point we would remark that generally the enemies of the faithful have made use of this weapon against them to bring down upon them the rigors of the authorities and hatred of the people. (“Chapter 2: The Jews” by H.L. Rossier)

And Haman said to king Ahasuerus, There is a people scattered abroad and dispersed among the peoples in all the provinces of thy kingdom; and their laws are diverse from those of every people, and they keep not the king’s laws; and it is not for the king’s profit to suffer them.
