STRONGS H1881: Abbreviations
† דָּת noun feminineEsther 3:15 decree, law, usage, only in Persian period (Biblical Aramaic Late Hebrew id., Syriac aTfD or aTxD; Persian loan-word, Old Persian dâta, law, SpiegAPK 225) — ד׳ absolute Esther 1:8 + 9 times; construct דַּת Esther 2:12, דָּת Esther 9:13; suffix דָּתוֺ Esther 2:8 + 4 times; plural construct דָּתֵי Ezra 8:36 + 2 times; suffix דָּתַיהֶם Esther 3:8; —
1. decree, edict, commission of Persian king Ezra 8:36 (word elsewhere only in Esther) Esther 2:8 (|| דְּבַר הַמֶּלֶךְ), Esther 4:3 (|| id.) Esther 8:17 (|| id.) Esther 9:1 (|| id.; with עשׂה execute) compare also Esther 9:13; with verb נָתַן Esther 3:14, 15; Esther 8:13, 14; Esther 9:14; written כְּתָבהַֿדָּת Esther 4:8 (compare Esther 3:14; Esther 8:13).
2. law, permanently valid and applicable, וְיִכָּתֵב בְּדָתֵי מָּרַסוּֿמָדַי וְלֹא יַעֲבוֺר Esther 1:19 compare Esther 1:15; Esther 4:11, 16; יֹדְעֵי דָּת וָדִין Esther 1:13 those that understood law and judgment; דָּתֵי הַמֶּלֶךְ Esther 3:8; of laws of the Jews in Persia Esther 3:8; even of rules for drinking at a feast Esther 1:8; for purifying of women Esther 2:12. — The distinction between 1 & 2 is not absolute. The king's will was law, and the royal edict (דְּבַר מַלְכוּת) concerning Vashti was reckoned among the laws (דָּתֵי) of the Persians & Medes (Esther 1:19). — In Deuteronomy 33:2 MT אֵשׁ דָּת לָמוֺ fire was a law for them is corrupt; many emendations proposed, compare Di; Di suggests דֹת [לַמִּ] אֵשׁ fire of flames, flaming fire, compare הַלַּמִּידִם Exodus 20:18 (but לַמִּדֹת plural in תֹ֯ not in OT unless as proper name), or (better), דֶת [יֹקֶ] אֵשׁ a burning fire, compare Isaiah 65:5 (different sense).
