Boyd’s Bible Dictionary
:
[
PUNISHMENT
]
Concise Bible Dictionary
:
The word
is
ets
, frequently translated “tree” and “
wood
,” and gives no idea of the form of the gallows. It was some frame-work made or erected on which
Mordecai
was to have been hanged.
Haman
no doubt intended by the great height of the gallows (about 23 yards) that the
hanging
of his victim should have been well seen in the city. It was seen from the
palace
, and, under the providence of
God
, he was himself hanged thereon (Esther 5-9).

“Study to show thyself approved unto God, … rightly dividing the word of truth” (2 Timothy 2:15).
